Book Reviews of Wuthering Heights (Penguin Classics)
Book Review: the beautiful and the scholarly at last go together !
Summary: 5 Stars
There is no need to comment on the contents of this volume, since it coincides page for page with the Penguin Classics current "black" edition of Wuthering Heighs (Pauline Nestor with Lucasta Miller), a really excellent edition (I omit some little misgivings).
What is NEW (and almost unseen on the Anglo-American market) is to have an authoritative and scholarly edition in a really nice hardcover (cloth), WITH ALL ITS INTRODUCTIONS AND NOTES, in good and probably lasting white paper, with even a blue ribbon-marker. A delight to the eyes and hands!
Let's face it: Clarendon edition wasn't nice-looking, with a price tag of one third of the US Gross National Product. The Franklin Mint Editions (say the 1979 one) is a very fine item, but it has no introduction and the only notes are the well-done glossings of the dialect tirades. Barnes&Noble hardcover comes near to parfection at a slightly more popular level, but their text is 1900 Haworth Edition, with its uncredible paragraphing and quaint distorted dialect, with some C.K. Shorter idiosyncracies for good measure.
SO, LONG LIVE THE PENGUIN CLASSICS HARDCOVER EDITIONS, AND LET'S SEE IF OXFORD FOLLOWS SUIT (I fear not). By the way, a good signature-sewn paperback with flaps and good, durable paper would do almost as well, but there is almost none in the Anglo-American market.
Summary of Wuthering Heights (Penguin Classics)
In a house haunted by memories, the past is everywhere ? As darkness falls, a man caught in a snowstorm is forced to shelter at the strange, grim house Wuthering Heights. It is a place he will never forget. There he will come to learn the story of Cathy: how she was forced to choose between her well-meaning husband and the dangerous man she had loved since she was young. How her choice led to betrayal and terrible revenge - and continues to torment those in the present. How love can transgress authority, convention, even death. And how desire can kill.
