Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte's only novel, is one of the pinnacles of 19th century English literature. It's the story of Heath Cliff, an orphan who falls in love with a girl above his class, loses her, and devotes the rest of his life to wreaking revenge on her family.
The story set in early nineteenth-century Yorkshire, deals with the passionate attachment between a headstrong young girl and a foundling boy brought up by her father causes disaster for them and many others, even in the next generation. It is an intriguing tale of revenge in which the main characters are controlled by consuming passions. The characters are vivid in description and seem dauntingly real, each so distinctly different that it is a shock they are fictional.
Wuthering Heights was once considered such a risk by its publishers that Emily Bronte had to defray the cost of publication until a sufficient number of copies had been sold.
