Publisher Description
Wuthering 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 centers (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.

About Emily Brontë
Emily Brontë (1818–1848),
sister of Anne and Charlotte, published only one novel in her career, Wuthering Heights. Though she died just one year after its publication and
never knew of its success, the story of doomed love and revenge went on to earn its
place among the masterpieces of English literature.
