About Wuthering Heights
Wuthering Heights is Emily Brontë’s only novel, and was originally published under the pseudonym Ellis Bell. It tells the story of the tragic lovers Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, whose tempestuous relationship is echoed by the violent storms that blow across the desolate moors they live on, and explores the lengths a person can be driven to by their desire for vengeance. When it was first published, its uncompromising portrayal of violence and cruelty shocked many critics, but it is now considered one of the greatest classics of English-language literature.
About Emily Brontë
Along with her sisters Anne and Charlotte, Emily Brontë was one of the few British women to become a successful novelist in the early 19th century, although all three initially published their work under male pseudonyms to avoid the misogyny that was rampant at that time. Very little is known about her personal life, as she was very shy and rarely left the isolated home she grew up in; most surviving information about her personality was written by her elder sister Charlotte. Wuthering Heights is her only published novel; she died in 1848 at the age of 30.
