WUTHERING HEIGHTS

Set against the backdrop of the West Yorkshire moors, the novel explores the tumultuous relationships between the Earnshaw and Linton families, particularly focusing on Heathcliff, Earnshaw's foster son. Influenced by Romanticism and Gothic themes, it delves into mental and physical cruelty, challenging Victorian moral values. Initially met with mixed reviews, it has since gained recognition as a classic of English literature. The story has inspired various adaptations, including a famous song by Kate Bush, and was later edited for publication by Charlotte Brontë after Emily's death.
