Wuthering Heights is an 1847 novel by Emily Brontë, initially published under the
pseudonym Ellis Bell. It concerns two families of the landed gentry living on the
West Yorkshire moors, the Earnshaws and the Lintons, and their turbulent
relationships with Earnshaw's adopted son, Heathcliff. The novel was influenced by
Romanticism and Gothic fiction.
Wuthering Heights is now considered a classic of English literature, but
contemporaneous reviews were polarised. ...
