Wuthering Heights

The wild and mysterious moors of Yorkshire are the setting for a passionate connection between childhood friends Catherine and Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights. Though they grow up and many other people, theirs is a fierce love that cannot be tamed by the laws of society or cooled by the passage of time. Emily BrontE's gothic tale explores the irresistible and dangerous nature of a love that knows no limits as it consumes the two people at its core. Based partly on the Gothic tradition of the late eighteenth century. Wuthering Heights, an unpolished and devastating epic of childhood playmates who grow into soul mates, is widely regarded as the most original tale of thwarted

desire and heartbreak in the English language. It is one of literature's most disturbing explorations into the dark side of romantic passion. Wuthering Heights is Emily Bronte's only novel. It was first published in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, and a posthumous second edition was edited byher sister Charlotte.
