Book Description
Excerpt from Dictionary Catalogue of the First 505 Volumes of Everyman's Library Wuthering Heights. 1848. Introduction by Ernest Rhys. Biographical Notice of Ellis and Acton Bell by Currer Bell. Editor's preface to new edition of Wuthering Heights, by Currer Bell. 243. A weird story of hate and revenge, laid amid the southern dales and fells of the moors of Yorkshire. Its great quality is that of atmo sphere and oneness of effect. To those unfamiliar with the ih habitants and customs of the hills and hamlets of Yorkshire the production seems rude and strange. It is rustic throughout: It is moorish, and wild and knotty as a root of heath. Beyond the madness and terror of Wuthering Heights' romantic fiction has never gone. Bulwer-lytton, Edward George Earle Lytton, Ist Baron Lytton. 1803 - 73. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
