'I am Heathcliff - he's always, always in my mind ...' Discovered on the streets of Liverpool, Heathcliff is rescued by Mr Earnshaw and taken to the remote Yorkshire farmhouse of Wuthering Heights. Earnshaw's daughter Catherine rapidly forms a passionate attachment to him, but when Catherine's brother takes over the Heights, Heathcliff is lowered to the position of a barely-tolerated farmhand. When Catherine decides to marry the refined Edgar Linton instead, Heathcliff turns revenger. He determines to degrade not only those who sought to degrade him, but their children after them. Wuthering Heights is one of the most famous love stories in the English language. It is also, as the Introduction to this edition explores, one of the most potent revenge narratives. Its ingenious narrative structure, vivid evocation of landscape, and the extraordinary power of its depiction of love and hatred have given it a unique place in English literature. This edition reproduces the authoritative Clarendon text, with revised and expanded notes and a selection from the poems of Emily Bronte. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
2010.7.28 A strange thing happened when I was reading this book. Obviously, the writing itself was powerful and the book, a page turner. But as I was reading it, I never thought of those characters to be real. Neither could I relate to them, nor did I a...
评分在读到呼啸山庄的前几章的时候,我不禁感叹一声,这呼啸山庄里住着的,都是一群疯子么? 最初对《呼啸山庄》感兴趣,是在王安忆老师的《王安忆小说讲稿》上对其内容和评价的探讨。那个时候我对于名著的兴趣,也就是停留在看一看简介,也能初步了解书的内容的层面,毕竟名著这么...
评分在听涅磐的where did you sleep last night,爱死了这样的暗沉的歇斯底里。我想到了那个外表暗沉却有着排山倒海般深情的希斯克里夫,这首歌是不是特别适合他?多少个他辗转反侧的黑夜,他最想对着他心爱的凯瑟琳说的,应该就是这句话吧? 记得甫上大学时,刚刚摆脱了沉重学业...
评分《外国文学史》上是把勃朗特这两姐妹一起介绍的,其中重点介绍的作品自然是《简爱》与《呼啸山庄》。我拜读这两本大作的时间相差甚远,但我还清楚的记得看书时的分别感觉。看简爱时只觉得平淡,肤浅如我向来爱的是基督山伯爵这类情节背景广阔跌宕起伏的小说(我后来一回想,...
评分在重读之前我想不起《呼啸山庄》的任何好处。自然,希刺克厉夫的黑头发和黑眼睛,凯瑟琳的骄傲与疯狂,呼啸山庄的冷峻和荒凉是不能忘记的,也仅此而已——然而这差不多是小说的全部要素了。如果说托尔斯泰和福楼拜的广博使人敬服,那么这种情景剧般的简单结构便叫人惊异了。类...
