Wuthering Heights

Lockwood, in the late winter of 1801, hires a manor house in England s remote moor country called Thrushcross Grange. Here, he meets Heathcliff, his gloomy landlord, a wealthy man who resides in the historic estate of Wuthering Heights, located some four miles from the Grange. Lockwood, who lives in this wild and stormy countryside, hears of Heathcliff and the peculiar residents of Wuthering Heights through his housekeeper, Nelly Dean. The bulk of Wuthering Heights is comprised of Lockwood s diary entries detailing his recollections of Nelly s story, which he was given permission to write.
