You can find the redesigned cover of this edition HERE. 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. This best-selling Norton Critical Edition is based on the 1847 first edition of the novel. For the Fourth Edition, the editor has collated the 1847 text with several modern editions and has corrected a number of variants, including accidentals. The text is accompanied by entirely new explanatory annotations. New to the fourth Edition are twelve of Emily Bronte's letters regarding the publication of the 1847 edition of Wuthering Heights as well as the evolution of the 1850 edition, prose and poetry selections by the author, four reviews of the novel, and poetry selections by the author, four reviews of the novel, and Edward Chitham's insightful and informative chronology of the creative process behind the beloved work. Five major critical interpretations of Wuthering Heights are included, three of them new to the Fourth Edition. A Stuart Daley considers the importance of chronology in the novel. J. Hillis Miller examines Wuthering Heights's problems of genre and critical reputation. Sandra M. Gilbert assesses the role of Victorian Christianity plays in the novel, while Martha Nussbaum traces the novel's romanticism. Finally, Lin Haire-Sargeant scrutinizes the role of Heathcliff in film adaptations of Wuthering Heights. A Chronology and updated Selected Bibliography are also included.

Hulluuden mahdollisuus kulkee mukanamme kuin varjo. Hulluus kytkeytyy paitsi ihmisen mieleen ja kehoon myös ympäröivään yhteiskuntaan ja kulttuuriin. Hulluuden historia selvittää, miten hulluus on eri aikoina koettu, miten sitä on länsimaisessa kulttuurissa selitetty ja miten hulluja on kohdeltu ja hoidettu. Teos kuljettaa lukijan antiikin traagisesta hulluudesta keskiajan narrien ja noitien pariin sekä valistuksen ”humaanin” psykiatrian kautta psykoanalyysiin ja psykofarmakologiaan. Se näyttää, millä tavoin psykiatreista tuli uusia hulluuden ammattilaisia, hulluus muuttui lääketieteelliseksi mielisairaudeksi ja mielisairaalalaitos syntyi. Matkan varrella vastaan tulevat monenlaiset hullut tai sellaisiksi tulkitut: niin synkkyyden alhossa vellovat melankolikot, taivaallisissa korkeuksissa vierailevat skitsofreenikot, raivopäiset maanikot, pakkovaeltajat, neurootikot, riivatut, hysteerikot kuin kylähullutkin. Hulluuden historia tuo silmiemme eteen ihmisluonnon moninaisuuden ja ihmisyyden arvoitukset – hulluus elää ajan virrassa. Petteri Pietikäinen on Oulun yliopiston aate- ja oppihistorian professori, erityisinä tutkimusalueina mielenterveyden historia, evoluutioteoriat ja utopia-ajattelu.

What if you woke up one morning and found you’d acquired another self―a double who was almost you and yet not you at all? What if that double shared many of your preoccupations but, in a twisted, upside-down way, furthered the very causes you’d devoted your life to fighting against? Not long ago, the celebrated activist and public intellectual Naomi Klein had just such an experience―she was confronted with a doppelganger whose views she found abhorrent but whose name and public persona were sufficiently similar to her own that many people got confused about who was who. Destabilized, she lost her bearings, until she began to understand the experience as one manifestation of a strangeness many of us have come to know but struggle to define: AI-generated text is blurring the line between genuine and spurious communication; New Age wellness entrepreneurs turned anti-vaxxers are scrambling familiar political allegiances of left and right; and liberal democracies are teetering on the edge of absurdist authoritarianism, even as the oceans rise. Under such conditions, reality itself seems to have become unmoored. Is there a cure for our moment of collective vertigo? Naomi Klein is one of our most trenchant and influential social critics, an essential analyst of what branding, austerity, and climate profiteering have done to our societies and souls. Here she turns her gaze inward to our psychic landscapes, and outward to the possibilities for building hope amid intersecting economic, medical, and political crises. With the assistance of Sigmund Freud, Jordan Peele, Alfred Hitchcock, and bell hooks, among other accomplices, Klein uses wry humor and a keen sense of the ridiculous to face the strange doubles that haunt us―and that have come to feel as intimate and proximate as a warped reflection in the mirror. Combining comic memoir with chilling reportage and cobweb-clearing analysis, Klein seeks to smash that mirror and chart a path beyond despair. Doppelganger What do we neglect as we polish and perfect our digital reflections? Is it possible to dispose of our doubles and overcome the pathologies of a culture of multiplication? Can we create a politics of collective care and undertake a true reckoning with historical crimes? The result is a revelatory treatment of the way many of us think and feel now―and an intellectual adventure story for our times.
