The text of the novel is ba sed on the first edition of 1847. Fo r the Fourth Edition, the edito r collated the 1847 text with the two modern texts (No r ton’s William J. Sale collation a nd the Clarendon), a nd found a great number of variants, including accidentals. This discovery led to changes in the body of the No r ton Critical Edition text that are explained in the preface. New to ",Backgrounds a nd Contexts", are additional letters, a compositional chronology, related prose, a nd reviews of the 1847 text. ",Criticism", collects five impo r tant assessments of Wuthering Heights , three of them new to the Fourth Edition, including Lin Haire-Sargeant’s essay on film adaptations of the novel. أقرأ أقل
