Wuthering Heights (Wordsworth Classics)

The cover art speaks for itself! 😍

One of my favorite books. The cover is beautiful. If you’ve never read it you should.

My sister loved this as a gift. Great book!

I love this edition, it’s creative, unique, and beautifully done. However, I deducted one star because the gold details on the cover—especially the title—have already begun to come off due to handling the book for just one read through. If you just plan to display this edition and read a more basic one, it’ll be fine, but if you plan to read this copy, handle with care.

Book came exactly as pictured I am pleased and would order again

The Secrets Santa receiver loves it! She said it was "The prettiest edition" she's ever seen.

**my review is based on the physical book rather than a critique of the story itself. With the movie coming out in a few weeks, I wanted to reread this classic since it had been at least 25 years since I first read it. I decided to buy this one from Wordsworth classics because I loved the cover art and wish more books coming out today would have their titles in these fun old school looking fonts. However, when reading the book, I found the lack of spacing between the text and the size of the letters to be a real strain on the eyes. Wuthering Heights is a classic and everyone should read it, but if your eyesight isn’t what it used to be, this particular version from Wordsworth classics might give you a headache. In that case, I would recommend a version like the one from penguin classics that has almost 100 more pages and better spacing between the lines of text.

A nice copy

I don’t know who was in charge of creating the typeset to this but it’s awful.

Ótima qualidade, produto chegou certinho, recomendo!

A good read

I believe that you don't just read Wuthering Heights, you live it. What can I honestly say about Wuthering Heights that could show my affection I have with the story? Since reading it for my English Literature A Level, I have lived the story countless times; thought about it everyday. It's a novel that leaves you either confused, saddened or emotionally connected with not only the characters, but the Yorkshire moors and the house that is Wuthering Heights. It won't leave you - it changes you. The story, so secluded in itself is nothing like the other books I have read, for it gives you what you want in a novel: characters, setting, plot, themes, all wonderfully developed, leaving them all in your imagination to flourish as you keep reading. The writing is simply beautiful, expressing the setting, character and plot perfectly in such a dire situation. Yes, this is one of the most extreme, horrid and liminal stories I've read, but the way in which the characters unfold, the Gothic overtakes and the ultimate downfalls of Catherine and Heathcliff is what subsidizes the experience of reading this phenomenal novel. No wonder Brontë is the "Sphynx of Literature": as she writes from the heart, mind and soul. The extremeness of Catherine's "Nelly, I am Heathcliff" and "My love for Edgar resembles the foliage in the woods: time will change it" also sticks with you and you question whether this love between Catherine and Heathcliff will be as strong as your love for someone else. It does not just deal with the love and eventual downfalls of Catherine and Heathcliff, it also introduces side plots, such as Hindley's drinking, Hareton's illiteracy and the overall themes of power, wealth and choice to co-inside superiorly. These are done throughout the book to lift it from a "love story" to a "domesticated tragedy", providing the minor characters with fulfilling roles that you can argue take centre stage at points in the novel. Perhaps these were themes Brontë knew well enough to pour such detail and corruption into such a typical novel that baffled critics when first published. I can't write how much I love this novel, for it is in itself a masterpiece of nature: a violent piece of beauty. It will be the novel I read over and over again, to myself, my children and my grandchildren. There is nothing I could say to express how I feel about this novel; I adore Emily Brontë for being such a daring human to explore the liminal, the Gothic and for the way it has truly impacted on my life. It will become my bible throughout life, and I will have pleasure in reading it time and time again, because it's a timeless classic.
