Download or read book Wuthering Heights Ed Newman written by Emily Brontë and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2007-04-11 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over a hundred and fifty years after its initial publication, Emily Brontë’s turbulent portrayal of the Earnshaws and the Lintons, two northern English households nearly destroyed by violent passions in the last quarter of the eighteenth century, continues to provoke and fascinate readers. Heathcliff remains one of the best-known characters in the English novel, and Catherine Earnshaw’s impossible choice between two rivals retains its appeal for contemporary readers. At the same time, the novel’s highly ambivalent representations of domesticity, its famous reticence about its characters and their actions, its formal features as a story within a story, and the mystery of Heathcliff’s origins and identity provide material for classroom discussion at every level of study. The introduction and appendices to this Broadview edition, which place Brontë’s life and novel in the context of the developing “Brontë myth,” explore the impact of industrialization on the people of Yorkshire, consider the novel’s representation of gender, and survey the ways contemporary scholarship has sought to account for Heathcliff, open up multiple contexts within which Wuthering Heights can be read, understood, and enjoyed.

Download or read book The Complete Works Charlotte Emily Anne Patrick Branwell Bront written by Charlotte Brontë and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-11-28 with total page 3737 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'The Complete Works: Charlotte, Emily, Anne, Patrick & Branwell Brontë,' readers are presented with a breathtaking panorama of nineteenth-century literary artistry. This collection transcends mere anthology, weaving together the distinct yet harmoniously interconnected oeuvres of the Brontë family. With a range that spans from the windswept moors of 'Wuthering Heights' to the subdued, fiery passions of 'Jane Eyre,' and the less traversed but equally compelling works of Anne and Patrick Brontë, alongside Branwell's artistic contributions, the anthology showcases a remarkable diversity of style and theme. Such an assembly underlines the profound impact these authors have had on English literature and the Gothic Romantic genre in particular. The second paragraph delves into the unique literary heritage of the Brontë siblings, shaped amidst the isolation of the Yorkshire moors. Their writings, a product of intense creativity and intellectual discourse within their secluded home, emerged against a backdrop of Victorian constraints and personal tragedies. This collection, therefore, does not merely collate texts; it maps the convergence of individual genius with shared familial and historical influences, underscoring the Brontës' collective role in championing new literary forms and depths of psychological insight. For enthusiasts and scholars alike, 'The Complete Works' offers a singular opportunity to engage with the full spectrum of Brontë genius. It invites a deep, comparative appreciation of how these authors' contrasting approaches to narrative, character, and theme reflect the complexity of human experience. This anthology is not just a comprehensive collection; it is an invitation to explore the rich dialogues between the works of Charlotte, Emily, Anne, Patrick, and Branwell Brontë, fostering a deeper understanding of their individual and collective literary achievements.
Download or read book Wuthering Heights Illustrated written by Emily Brontë and published by Top Five Books LLC. This book was released on 2014-08-22 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Top Five Classics edition of Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights includes: • 12 starkly beautiful woodcut illustrations by renowned artist Clare Leighton (the inspiration for the sets of the classic 1939 Laurence Olivier–Merle Oberon film adaptation) • The complete, unabridged, carefully proofread text • Charlotte Brontë’s preface and biographical notice to the 1850 edition • A helpful introduction and author bio Wuthering Heights was released in 1847 in the shadow of the instantly successful Jane Eyre, published two months earlier by her older sister Charlotte. It enjoyed only mixed reviews—but the reactions were intense, foreshadowing the eventual stature the novel would claim in the pantheon of English literature, surpassing in many readers’ eyes even her sister’s magnum opus. Though Emily would not live to see it, Wuthering Heights would become synonymous with passionate gothic romance and tragic love, establishing Heathcliff and Catherine as the most poignantly doomed couple in fiction since Romeo & Juliet, but with far darker consequences for everyone involved.

Book excerpt: “A thrilling story of seduction, betrayal, and loss, Freud’s Mistress will titillate fans of Memoirs of a Geisha and The Other Boleyn Girl.”—Booklist In fin-de-siècle Vienna, it was not easy for a woman to find fulfillment both intellectually and sexually. But many believe that Minna Bernays was able to find both with one man—her brother-in-law, Sigmund Freud. At once a portrait of two sisters—the rebellious, independent Minna and her inhibited sister, Martha—and of the compelling and controversial doctor who would be revered as one of the twentieth century’s greatest thinkers, Freud’s Mistress is a novel rich with passion and historical detail and “a portrait of forbidden desire [with] a thought-provoking central question: How far are you willing to go to be happy?”* *Publishers Weekly

Download or read book Wuthering Heights written by Emily Emily Bronte and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the Fourth Edition, the editor collated the 1847 text with the two modern texts (Norton s William J. Sale collation and the Clarendon), and found a great number of variants, including accidentals. This discovery led to changes in the body of the Norton Critical Edition text that are explained in the preface. New to "Backgrounds and Contexts" are additional letters, a compositional chronology, related prose, and reviews of the 1847 text. "Criticism" collects five important assessments of Wuthering Heights, three of them new to the Fourth Edition, including Lin Haire-Sargeant s essay on film adaptations of the novel.Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine's father. After Mr Earnshaw's death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine's brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries. The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature.

Book excerpt: Dr. Reilly Stanton, eighth Marquis of Stillworth, must mend his injured pride by proving himself a hero -- and not a drunken wastrel, as his former fiancée claimed. Against all sane advice, the Londoner takes a medical post in a tiny fishing village on the remote Isle of Skye -- and is convinced that he can cope with the primitive conditions, horrendous Highland weather, and rampant illness. But Miss Brenna Donnegal is another matter entirely.... Try as he might, Reilly cannot ignore the toweringly tall lady with flaming chestnut locks and an equally fiery will. She has filled her father's former role as the local physician, and is more than annoyed to find the urbane Dr. Stanton taking over her work and her father's cottage. By fair means or foul, she will give the usurper his comeuppance. But what begins as a sparking tug-of-war between two proud hearts soon flames to a passionate fire... Critically acclaimed author Patricia Cabot delivers an exquisitely warm and witty novel of love set against the dramatic backdrop of Scotland's magnificent Isle of Skye.
