Wuthering Heights (Oxford World's Classics)

Rating:
Summary: Haunting!
Review: "Wuthering Heights," to use a critic's line, "makes most books about romance look like books about plumbing." It is certainly true. Nowhere else have I met such haunting and memorable imagery, not even in "Jane Eyre." The book is full of twists and surreal occurences- Gothic, to say it in one word. And yet this was Emily Bronte's only novel. As Joyce Carol Oates writes in her unsurpassable introduction, "Has there ever been a more astonishing 'first novel' than 'Wuthering Heights'?" I always thought that the three Bronte sisters were better than Jane Austen, but after reading this amazing novel, I KNOW my judgement was not wrong. A true classic of English Literature, Emily Bronte's masterpiece is unsurpassed.
