About the Author
Emily Brontë (1818-1848) was an English novelist and poet, best known for her only novel, "Wuthering Heights." Despite her short life, Brontë's work has left a lasting impact on English literature. She was one of the three Brontë sisters, along with Charlotte and Anne, who were all accomplished writers. Emily's poetry and prose are noted for their emotional intensity and vivid portrayal of the natural world.
Published in 1847, the year before Emily Brontë’s death at the age of thirty, Wuthering Heights has proved to be one of the nineteenth century’s most popular yet disturbing masterpieces. Once regarded as a romantic melodrama, the classic love story of Wuthering Heights is now seen as the starting-point for a poetic mystery and narrative tour de force unequalled in their time.
