Lauren | 2157 comments Please update the description of the most popular edition of Wuthering Heights (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...) to actually reflect the plot. The following is from the AbeBooks link below, and while fairly perfunctory is better than what currently exists:
At the centre of this novel is the passionate love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff - recounted with such emotional intensity that a plain tale of the Yorkshire moors acquires the depth and simplicity of ancient tragedy.


Per this thread (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...), please add something like the above to the existing description, instead of replacing the existing description.

Thank you.

Edit: the below has been handled, only the above is outstanding.

Additionally, the cover of this edition is definitely not the Norton Critical Edition. Instead, it seems to belong to ISBN 1471141632, published by Simon and Schuster. Please correct this information. See entries on AbeBooks: https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/Book...

Thank you!

Emily | 17475 comments I tried to revert image changes but couldn't find a different cover. I see what you mean. Several updates occurred to this work and if I had to guess, we should merge it with the alternate edition. I think the current cover is someone's error.

However I have to leave this to someone more experienced to take a look at.

Thanks for looking into this!

Is anyone with more experience able to help?
