Wuthering Heights — Emily Bronte

Emily Bronte's dark, brooding vision finds expression in her masterpiece of passion and force.

Her only novel, Wuthering Heights, published a year before her death in 1848 at the age of thirty, stands as perhaps the most intensely original work in the English language. In it Emily Brontë records the story of the passionate love between Catherine Earnshaw and the wild Heathcliff with such truth, imagination, and emotional intensity that a plain tale of the Yorkshire Moors acquires the depth and simplicity of ancient tragedy.
