Considered to be one of the greatest novels ever written in English, Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense love between Catherine and Heathcliff.

 

They meet as children. They grow up together. It’s only after one fatefully misheard conversation that Heathcliff leaves, believing his love for Catherine isn’t reciprocated. When he returns, he is a wealthy and polished man but things have now changed – drastically – and Heathcliff starts to exact terrible revenge on those who wronged him…

Emily Bronte

Emily Brontë (1818-1848) was an English novelist and poet known famously for her only novel, Wuthering Heights. The work was originally published in a three-volume set alongside the work of her sister Anne. Due to the politics of the time, she and her sister were given the names Ellis and Acton Bell as pseudonyms. It wasn’t until 1850 that their real names were printed on their respective works. The initial reception of Wuthering Heights by the public was not favorable. Many readers were confused by the novel structure—they had not previously encountered a frame narrative (story-within-a-story) as unique as that of Wuthering Heights. Emily Brontë died from tuberculosis at age thirty, only a year after the publication of her landmark book. Alas, she didn’t live long enough to revel in its legacy; the book later became an iconic work of English literature.
