Wuthering Heights

Wuthering Heights

First published in 1847, ‘Wuthering Heights’ is a classic of English literature by Emily Bronte, an English novelist, and poet. Emily was the second eldest of the three surviving Bronte sisters, being younger than Charlotte Bronte and older than Anne Bronte. She published under the masculine pen name Ellis Bell. Set on the solemn moors of northern England, this is the remarkable story of Heathcliff and Catherine, whose doomed love torments them in a tempest of madness, vengeance, and redemption. It is a wild, passionate tale of intense and almost sinister love. After Mr. Earnshaw’s death, Heathcliff is mocked and disgraced by Catherine's brother Hindley and mistakenly believes that his love for Catherine is not returned, leaving Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as an affluent and polished man. He rolls to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries. It is a masterpiece that remains as compelling today as it was when it was publicized.
