Wuthering Heights

Bookshub. co.inWuthering Heights is Emily Brontë's only novel. It was first published in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell and a posthumous second edition was edited by her sister Charlotte. The name of the novel comes from the Yorkshire manor on the moors on which the story centres (as an adjective wuthering is a Yorkshire word referring to turbulent weather). The narrative tells the tale of the all-encompassing and passionate yet thwarted love between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw and how this unresolved passion eventually destroys them and many around them.
