Wuthering Heights was the only novel by Emily Brontë (1818–1848), who died just a year after its publication. It is considered one of the best examples of English literature of all time. The novel tells a complex story of love, revenge and passion on the dark and desolate Yorkshire steppes. “Wuthering Heights” challenged the moral ideals of the Victorian era, presenting visceral, real characters with the experiences and complexity of life itself. .
