About Wuthering Heights

Wuthering Heights is Emily Brontë's only novel. Written between October 1845 and June 1846, it was published in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell. The novel is set on the Yorkshire moors and follows the turbulent relationship between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, an orphan taken in by Catherine's father.
