Set against the wild, windswept moors of Yorkshire, it traces the troubled bond between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling taken into her family whose passionate attachment to her becomes entangled with humiliation, social ambition and vengeance. Through the intertwined histories of the Earnshaws and the neighbouring Lintons, Brontë creates a world in which the landscape seems to echo the turbulence of the human heart, and the boundaries between love and possession, tenderness and cruelty, are continually disturbed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInitially received with bewilderment for its moral and emotional extremity, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWuthering Heights\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e has since become one of the defining works of Victorian fiction and a singular achievement of Gothic literature. Its intricate narrative, shifting perspectives and refusal to offer easy moral judgements distinguish it from the more conventional domestic novels of its time. The only novel Brontë published, it remains remarkable for its imaginative power and its uncompromising vision of desire beyond the limits of polite society, leaving readers to confront the lasting consequences of passion when it becomes inseparable from pride and pain.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom the book\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“I wish I were a girl again, half-savage and hardy, and free.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e— Emily Brontë, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWuthering Heights\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWuthering Heights\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“It is rustic all through.
