Wuthering Heights (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781540383778)

Although Wuthering Heights is now widely regarded as a classic of English literature, contemporary reviews for the novel were deeply polarised; it was considered controversial because its depiction of mental and physical cruelty was unusually stark, and it challenged strict Victorian ideals of the day, including religious hypocrisy, morality, social classes and gender inequality. The English poet and painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti, although a fan of the book, referred to it as "A fiend of a book - an incredible monster ... The action is laid in hell, - only it seems places and people have English names there."
