The text of the novel is based
on the first edition of 1847. For the Fourth Edition, the editor
collated the 1847 text with the two modern texts (Norton’s
William J. Sale collation and the Clarendon), and found a great
number of variants, including accidentals. This discovery led
to changes in the body of the Norton Critical Edition text that
are explained in the preface.
New to "Backgrounds and
Contexts" are additional letters, a compositional chronology,
related prose, and reviews of the 1847 text.
"Criticism" collects
five important assessments of Wuthering Heights, three
of them new to the Fourth Edition, including Lin Haire-Sargeant’s
essay on film adaptations of the novel.
