Wuthering Heights




'May you not rest, as long as I am living. You said I killed you - haunt me, then' Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights

A mesmerizing classic that explores the darker side of love and obsession and was the inspiration for the major motion picture directed by Emerald Fennell, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi.

“It is as if Emily Brontë could tear up all that we know human beings by, and fill these unrecognizable transparencies with such a gust of life that they transcend reality.”—Virginia Woolf

Wealthy Catherine and orphan Heathcliff share a raw, raging passion for each other.

But because of Heathcliff’s social status, their love is thwarted.

Jealousy, revenge, and bitterness ravage the moors as Catherine’s choices tear her family—and her love—apart.

Wuthering Heights
, first published in 1847, the year before the author’s death at the age of thirty, endures today as perhaps the most powerful and intensely original novel in the English language.

About the authors

Emily Brontë

Emily Brontë was born on 30 July 1818. Her father was curate of Haworth, Yorkshire, and her mother died when she was five years old, leaving five daughters and one son. In 1824 Charlotte, Maria, Elizabeth and Emily were sent to Cowan Bridge, a school for clergymen's daughters, where Maria and Elizabeth both caught tuberculosis and died. The children were taught at home from this point on and together they created vivid fantasy worlds which they explored by writing stories. Emily worked briefly as a teacher in 1938 but soon returned home. In 1846, Emily’s poems were published alongside those of her sisters, Charlotte and Anne, in Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell. The following year Wuthering Heights was published. Emily Brontë died of consumption on 19 December 1848.
