Stormfulde højder er en vild, lidenskabelig fortælling om den intense, nærmest dæmoniske kærlighed mellem Catherine Earnshaw og hittebarnet Heathcliff, der bliver adopteret af Catherines far. Efter Mr Earnshaws død bliver Heathcliff tyranniseret og ydmyget af Catherines jaloux bror Hindley, som overtager gården, og da Catherine af materialistiske årsager gifter sig med en anden, beslutter Heathcliff sig for at forlade Wuthering Heights. Da han vender tilbage tre år senere, er han både rig og dannet og har planlagt en grusom hævn for sine tidligere lidelser. Han er ikke sen til at føre sine hævnplaner ud i livet, og hans handlinger får vidtrækkende konsekvenser for både ham selv og alle omkring ham. I dette litterære mesterværk er selvbedrag fatalt, hævnen bitter og kærligheden, der overskrider autoritet, konvention og død, destruktiv."Hvordan i alverden kunne en jomfru fjernt fra verdens vrimmel overhovedet konstruere en roman som stadigvæk holder som en af verdens bedste om følelsernes irrationelle musik, vanvid og inderlighed?" - Bo Tao Michaëlis, Politiken"Heathcliff og Cathy spøger stadig som et dekret i vores kærlighedshistorier, kulturens store og de helt personlige. Derfor er de et vigtigt studie for enhver kærlighedsforsker, professionel eller privat." - Lilian Munk Rösing, Information"Det er karsk og vild læsning, som gør let om hjertet." - Kathrine Lilleør, Berlingske

Introduction and Notes by John S. Whitley, University of Sussex.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.

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.
