Wuthering Heights is a novel by
Emily Brontë, written between October 1845 and June 1846, and published in 1847 under the pseudonym
Ellis Bell. It was her first and only published novel: she died aged 30 the following year.
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 eponymous farmhouse on the
Yorkshire moors where the story unfolds. The book's core theme is the destructive effect that jealousy and vengefulness have, both on the jealous or vengeful individuals and on their communities.
Although Wuthering Heights is now widely regarded as a classic of
English literature, it received mixed reviews when first published, and was considered controversial because its depiction of mental and physical cruelty was so unusually stark
. In the second half of the
19th century,
Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre was considered the best of the
Brontë sisters' works, but later critics argued that Wuthering Heights was superior. Wuthering Heights has inspired adaptations, including film, radio and television dramatisations, a musical by
Bernard J. Taylor, a ballet, operas (by
Bernard Herrmann,
Carlisle Floyd, and
Frédéric Chaslin), a role-playing game, and a 1978 song by
Kate Bush. (Summary adapted from wikipedia.org - Attribution:
