I purchased this copy of Wuthering Heights because I am currently working on designing a curriculum for this novel. When ordering a novel online, in which I cannot hold or flip through the book, I tend to purchase Penguin Classics because I trust them. I know a Penguin Classic book will be good quality and a good value. This book contains a lot of additional information that I wasn't anticipating, and even details I didn't already know. It begins with a Preface written by Lucasta Miller in 2003. After that, the reader is presented with a long introduction written in 2000 that gives context to the novel by sharing details of Emily Brontë's life and explaining the time period in which it was written. The introduction is followed by an extensive list of 27 cited resources, making this a great copy of Wuthering Heights to use for students writing research papers. After the introduction, there is a Chronology of Emily Brontë's life. Next, there is a character tree for all of the characters found in the novel (see picture). This can be super helpful to keep all the characters straight, especially for struggling readers. Next, there is a biographical notice regarding the pen names used by the Bronte sisters. And finally, before delving into the novel, the reader will find the editor's preface that was written in 1850. After this preface, the story begins. This copy of the novel is the perfect size. It is just small enough to fit into my purse, but not so small that my aging eyes have trouble reading it. The font is a very comfortable size to read without straining my eyes, and the letters appear crisp and clear. The paper is a soft ivory shade, super easy on the eyes, and not a stark white. The pages are also a nice thickness and weight. What I like best about this physical book is that the pages have texture. I don't like super smooth, slick pages that can be hard to turn. This paper has a bit of grip, making page turns easy, and the pages don't stick together. I find the novel itself to be really enjoyable. It is an easy read for something written in the 1800's. I find Brontë to be way easier to follow than Jane Austen, for example. This story is a gothic romantic tragedy. It has supernatural elements that keep it interesting. If you like Frankenstein and The House of Seven Gables, then you should love Wuthering Heights. Emily Brontë was a genius wordsmith. I'm discovering on average 5 words per chapter that I need to look up in order to determine their meaning. As a certified English teacher, I am always looking for a novel that can expand on students' lexicon. I love this fantastical story with its gothic elements, and I really enjoy the good quality and value that this Penguin Classic copy offers. Review: Compelling Story, Poor Page Format - It's an unsettling story, that's no surprise because I'd read it before. I chose this version for the lovely cover, which was not as dark (literally and figuratively) as others. But as a retired editor, I found every page looked crowded and uninviting. Needed clearer delineation between paragraphs, maybe a different font. The story itself is what it is, troubling themes and characters, yet interesting to read. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,390 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #38 in Gothic Fiction #75 in Classic Literature & Fiction #266 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 7,879 Reviews | ## Images ![Wuthering Heights (Penguin Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71aIrL9g1sL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Good Quality Copy of a Classic *by W***E on March 19, 2026* I am an English teacher who writes curriculum for classic literature.

It’s a dark, brooding, atmospheric novel that is both part of and a defining piece of the gothic genre. It seems often misrepresented as a romance. It’s more about the dark side of love becoming obsession and ultimately the impetus for revenge. It seems odd not to give a book like this 5 stars even if it doesn’t suit my personal tastes perfectly. I didn’t feel drawn to these characters. Not that I need a hero or rooting interest necessarily, but I didn’t find the people to be endearing, not even in a flawed human sort of way. The book isn’t much about the plot development as much as the emotional drama. The ending feels somewhat predictable and inevitable and a little relentless even in an attempt at hopefulness. I wasn’t sold on the hope after being consumed by the darkness for the entirety of the book. But of course that is personal interpretation and reaction. I acknowledge that this is what great literature is about. I became engaged and emotionally affected even if my reaction to it wasn’t lasting love for the work. It’s a great novel even if not in my personal hall of fame. For my personal taste within the gothic genre, I loved Jane Eyre. ## Frequently Bought Together - Wuthering Heights (Penguin Classics) - Pride and Prejudice (Penguin Classics) - Jane Eyre (Penguin Classics) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/15512874-wuthering-heights-penguin-classics](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/15512874-wuthering-heights-penguin-classics) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
