Wuthering Heights (1847) by Emily Brontë recounts the life story of Heathcliff from his childhood to his death in his late thirties. He is an orphan, found on the streets of Liverpool and taken by Mr. Earnshaw to Wuthering Heights, where he is reluctantly cared for by the family. After Mr. Earnshaw death, Hindley claims his place as master of Wuthering Heights and makes life miserable for Heathcliff, his adopted brother, by treating him like a servant. Heathcliff and Catherine fall in love, but she decides to marry Edgar causing Heathcliff to run away. He returns later, affluent and educated, acquires Wuthering Heights, and sets about gaining his revenge on the people that he believed ruined his life. "Emily Brontë, author of the greatest psychological novel ever written, with the most complex character ever conceived. Read "Wuthering Heights" when you're 18 and you think Heathcliff is a romantic hero; when you're 30, he's a monster; at 50 you see he's just human." - Alice Hoffman in her 2014 "By the Book" interview with The New York Times
Autorenporträt
Emily Brontë (1818-1848) The third of the famous Brontë siblings, Emily Jane Brontë was an English novelist and poet. Her most famous work Wuthering Heights - and her only novel - was published under the pen name, Ellis Bell, in 1847. Although Emily is best known for writing Wuthering Heights, she was a prolific poet who wrote around 200 poems in her lifetime. She contributed many of her well-known poems to Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell, which Emily published in 1846 along with her sisters, Charlotte and Anne Brontë. According to Charlotte Brontë, Emily was reclusive and shy. Interestingly, her solitary nature was reserved for human beings, while her warmth emerged when she found herself in nature. An empathetic person, she took in her surroundings while wandering the moors with her sister, Anne, and poured it into the saga of everlasting love: Wuthering Heights. Despite being criticized when it was first published, the novel is today considered one of the finest works in English literature.
