OverviewWuthering Heights is Emily Bronte's first and only published novel, written between October 1845 and June 1846, and published in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell; Bronte died the following year, aged 30. The decision to publish came after the success of her sister Charlotte's novel, Jane Eyre. After Emily's death, Charlotte edited the manuscript of Wuthering Heights, and arranged for the edited version to be published as a posthumous second edition in 1850. Wuthering Heights is the name of the farmhouse where the story unfolds. The book's core theme is the destructive effect of jealousy and vengefulness both on the jealous or vengeful individuals and on their communities.

Table of ContentsReviewsAuthor InformationEmily Bronte was an English novelist and poet, who, along with her sisters Charlotte and Anne, produced some of the most enduring works of the 19th century. Best known for her only novel, Wuthering Heights, Bronte published her works using the pen name Ellis Bell, a practice common for female writers at the time. Called the Sphynx of Literature, Bronte had no desire for fame and wrote only for her own satisfaction. She died of consumption in 1848 at the age of 30. Collectively, the Bronte sisters novels are considered literary standards that continue to influence modern writers. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
