Summary:

In addition to the complete, authoritative edition of the novel, this volume contains, among other material: excerpts from "The Gondol Saga," the juvenalia that Emily wrote with sister Anne and the basis for the later "Wuthering Heights; " newspaper accounts of the Liverpool slave trade, believed to be influential in the creation of Heathcliff' s background; Irish folktales told by the Reverend Bronte to his children, which were influential in the composition of the novel; and a collection of recent critical approaches to the novel.
