Wuthering Heights is Emily Bronte's only novel. Written between October 1845 and June 1846, Wuthering Heights was published in 1847 under the pseudonym "Ellis Bell"; Bronte died the following year, aged 30. Wuthering Heights and Anne Bronte's Agnes Grey were accepted by publisher Thomas Newby before the success of their sister Charlotte's novel, Jane Eyre.

When 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.

It is hard to top the pleasure of a woodland walk in Spring unless of course you have a lyric poet as your guide. Now that is possible with Poets of Nature. Let Walt Whitman, John Keats, Emily Dickinson, Henry David Thoreau, Emily Bronte, and Ralph Waldo Emerson take you into that realm of Nature "where we seldom wander".

When Mr. Earnshaw brings a black-haired foundling child into his home on the Yorkshire moors, he little imagines the dramatic events which will follow. The passionate relationship between Cathy Earnshaw and the foundling, Heathcliff, is a story of love, hate, pity, and retribution: the effects of which reverberate throughout the succeeding generations.

Lockwood is an unwanted guest, forced by a snowstorm to pass the night at the lonely and inhospitable house of Wuthering Heights. A child’s ghost pleads at the window to be let in; a waif who has wandered the moor for 20 years. Lockwood’s screams bring the fierce and brooding master of the house, Heathcliff, who is at first angry, and then, startlingly, sobs and begs for the ghost to return.

Klasické dílo anglické literatury. Autorka mistrně vystihla nejtemnější zákoutí lidské duše, zlobu a záludnost. Jeden z nejtemnějších a nejsmutnějších příběhů světové literatury. Ponurost větrných vřesovišť jako by podněcovala pana Heathcliffa k splácení všech skutečných i domnělých křivd, jež se mu v životě přihodily. Pln nenávisti, smutku, lásky i bolesti, zlý i hluboce nešťastný myslí jen na jedno – na pomstu. Autorka sugestivně líčí prostředí, v němž vyrůstal, i příčiny, proč z vnímavého chlapce vyrostl uzavřený záludný člověk, který zasvětil život pomstě.
