‘Another volume — and the second by Ian Brinton — in the series initiated by Continuum as introductions to classic literary texts. Designed as guides for undergraduate students, the volumes follow a format that is both tightly focussed and demanding in the provision of historical, critical and creative contexts. It proves a format that in good hands is far from formulaic: each of Ian Brinton's chapters is compact, informed and clear. The writing is a model of combining the pleasures of close reading with instruction of a rewardingly exact order. Imaginatively conceived, and executed with quiet authority and openness of mind, this is work that in the best sense makes an ‘old' text ‘new' again.' -- Jean Gooder, Fellow Emerita, Newnham College, University of Cambridge, UK
A new study of Wuthering Heights is always welcomed, and the benefit of this one is its close readings of several key passages... It is good to have a study of the novel that challenges us to say what about it is so fascinating and what makes it so much of a draw. -- The Use of English
