Wuthering Heights
by Emily Brontë 1818–1848
The book, and the century it came out of.
Two houses on the Yorkshire moors, three generations, and a love that neither party would call by that name — Emily Brontë’s only novel was published under a man’s name and dismissed as brutal. It is narrated at two removes, by a stranger and a servant, so that the reader must decide how much of what is reported can be believed. Nothing in English fiction is quite like it. Illustrated with 50 full-page plates — paintings by II, van Gool and Lambert among them.
1801—I have just returned from a visit to my landlord—the solitary neighbor that I shall be troubled with.
Wuthering Heights, by Emily Brontë, complete and unabridged. Spelling and punctuation follow present-day American usage; the sentences, the paragraphs and the voice are the author’s, word for word.
It was written in another era and may carry attitudes a reader today will find dated. They are kept for the sake of the work and do not reflect the views of this house.

The Yorkshire moors, published 1847
Published under the name Ellis Bell, in a year when all three Brontë sisters brought out novels under male pseudonyms. The reviews called it coarse and brutal; several assumed the author was a man, and one hoped he would write something more agreeable next time.
Emily Brontë died the following year, at thirty, without seeing any of that overturned. The parsonage she wrote in stood above a graveyard in a village whose average age at death was in the twenties — Haworth’s water supply ran through the burial ground, and a government inspector condemned it a few years later.
