Learn moreWhen it was first published in 1847, Wuthering Heights was considered highly controversial for its blunt portrayal of domestic abuse, alcoholism, and the dismissal of Christian values by some of its characters. Today, this gothic novel is considered one of the greatest in English literature.
Generational conflict persists between two families living on properties in a remote area of Yorkshire—the Earnshaws and the Lintons. When the sinister and powerful Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by the Earnshaws, develops a passionate attachment to his step-sister Catherine, she chooses instead, for practical reasons, to marry the mild-mannered Edgar Linton, despite her affections for Heathcliff. When Catherine dies after giving birth to a daughter, the naturally surly Heathcliff becomes deeply embittered. He plans his vengeance on members of both families who he believes have wronged him.
The action is told by Nelly Dean, who has spent a life in service to members of both families. The subsidiary speaker is Lockwood, a young man who becomes a tenant on Heathcliff’s property.
Emily Bronte (1818-1848) was born at Thornton, Bradford, Yorkshire, and just after the birth of her sister Anne, she moved with her family to Haworth, where she spent most of her life. Emily attended Cowan Bridge School, a Church of England clergymen's daughters' boarding school, but only for six months. Between 1830 and 1835, Emily taught at Miss Wooler's School at Roe Head, where her sister Charlotte also taught. After serving as a governess in Halifax, Yorkshire, Emily accompanied her sisters Anne and Charlotte to Brussels, where they attended the Pensionnat Heger with the goal of improving their proficiency in French in order to start their own school. Their plans for their own school, however, foundered, and the sisters were reunited at Haworth in August 1845. When in the autumn of 1845 Charlotte accidentally discovered the manuscript of Emily's Gondal verses, she initiated the publication of a volume of poems by all three sisters, who as a clergyman's daughters thought it advisable to adopt the noms des plumes Currer (Charlotte), Ellis (Emily), and Acton (Anne) Bell. A year after the publication by Thomas Cautley Newby, London, of Wuthering Heights, the eighteenth-century romance for which she is best known, Emily died of tuberculosis. She was just thirty years old but had already produced a romantic tragedy in novel form, written over the course of 1845-46, yet to be surpassed in the English language.
