Wuthering Heights +EmilyBronte 14

Wuthering Heights stands as the sole novel of Emily Brontë, taking its name from the Yorkshire manor that serves as the central setting of the narrative. The term "wuthering" is a regional adjective denoting tumultuous weather, aptly reflecting the tempestuous nature of the story. The plot intricately weaves the tale of the all-consuming and passionate, yet ultimately thwarted, love between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, exploring how their unresolved ardor leads to mutual destruction and negatively impacts those surrounding them.

Regarded today as a classic of English literature, Wuthering Heights faced polarized critiques upon its initial publication. Many contemporary critics expressed dismay at the stark representations of both mental and physical torment within the text. While Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre was initially heralded as the superior work among the Brontë sisters, a considerable body of criticism has since emerged, championing Wuthering Heights for its originality and literary merit.
