First published in 1847, Emily BrontA"'s classic tale of passion, obsession, cruelty and revenge has lost none of its power. At its heart lies the tempestuous relationship of Catherine Earnshaw of 'Wuthering Heights' and Heathcliff, the 'gypsy brat' plucked from the streets of Liverpool by her father. Their tragedy, with its terrible consequences for those who become caught up in it, unfolds in a wild moorland landscape as dark and harsh as the events themselves.
