Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine’s father.
After Mr Earnshaw’s death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine’s brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man.

This beautiful, giftable collection celebrates both the wisdom and
tenacity of courageous women who defied society’s expectations
and gifted the world with literary treasures through unparalleled
fiction and poetry. We know many of their names--Austen and Alcott,
Brontë and Browning, Wheatley, and Woolf--though some may be less
familiar. They are here, waiting to introduce themselves.Â
They wrote against all odds. Some wrote defiantly; some wrote
desperately. Some wrote while trapped within the confines of status
and wealth. Some wrote hand-to-mouth in abject poverty. Some wrote
trapped in a room of their father’s house, and some went in
search of a room of their own. They had lovers and families. They
were sometimes lonely. Many wrote anonymously or under a pseudonym
for a world not yet ready for their genius and talent. The Women
Who Wrote softcover edition offers: Stories from Jane Austen,
Katherine Mansfield, Willa Cather, Louisa May Alcott, Edith
Wharton, Zora Neale Hurston, and Virginia Woolf. Poems from Emily
Dickinson, Gertrude Stein, Charlotte Brontë, Emily Brontë,
Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Elizabeth
Barrett Browning, Dorothy Parker, and Phillis Wheatley. These women
wrote to change the world. They marched through the world one
by one or in small sisterhoods, speaking to one another and to us
over distances of place and time. Pushing back against the
boundaries meant to keep us in our place, they carved enough space
for themselves to write. They made space for us to follow. Here
they are gathered together, an army of women who wrote an arsenal
of words to inspire us. They walk with us as we forge our own paths
forward.

if not, is he a devil?' Heathcliff, an orphan, wild and unkempt, is
taken in by Mr Earnshaw and raised as his son at Wuthering Heights

intense and passionate love. But when Catherine's father dies,
Heathcliff is condemned to servitude, and social disparity drives a
wedge between them that will eventually become their downfall.

unique and emotive Gothic novels, and is considered Emily Bronte's
masterpiece.

When Mr. Earnshaw, master of Wuthering Heights, returns from a trip
with an unkempt orphan in tow, he announces that the child,
Heathcliff, is now a member of the family. While young Catherine
Earnshaw becomes close with Heathcliff, her older brother Hindley
sinks into bitter resentment. As Catherine and Heathcliff mature,
and their affection blossoms into desire, Hindley’s resentment
boils over into hatred, setting the stage for a tragic drama whose
aftermath will shake the foundations of their world.
This superb anthology of poems contains Emily Bronte's verses in
their entirety, including her private and posthumously published
poetry, as compiled and edited by the literary critic Clement
Shorter. The Complete Poems of Emily Bronte is a collection
assembled both from past publications featuring Emily Bronte's
works, and private collections discovered after her death by
members of her family. Although her verse compositions are
overshadowed to this day by her phenomenally successful novel
Wuthering Heights, they remain worthy examples of the Romantic era
form. The poems situated at the conclusion went unpublished for
decades and did not appear in print until 1908. Emily Bronte was a
private character, who took very little interest in promoting her
works to the public. As such, many of these poems never appeared in
print until years or even decades after her death in 1848.
Alongside the poems themselves is a biographical introduction which
explains the most pivotal events in Emily's life.
The Brontes sisters, Charlotte (1816-55), Emily (1818-48), and Anne
(1820-49), achieved literary renown for their novels which were
passionate and original. Contained in this volume are the famous
(or complete) novels - Wuthering Heights, Agnes Grey, The Tenant of
Wildfell Hall, Jane Eyre.
I have just returned from a visit to my landlord -- the solitary
neighbor that I shall be troubled with. This is certainly a
beautiful country In all England, I do not believe that I could
have fixed on a situation so completely removed from the stir of
society. A perfect misanthropist's heaven: and Mr. Heathcliff and I
are such a suitable pair to divide the desolation between us. A
capital fellow He little imagined how my heart warmed towards him
when I beheld his black eyes withdraw so suspiciously under their
brows, as I rode up, and when his fingers sheltered themselves,
with a jealous resolution, still further in his waistcoat, as I
announced my name. Mr. Heathcliff? I said. A nod was the answer.
Mr. Lockwood, your new tenant, sir. I do myself the honor of
calling as soon as possible after my arrival, to express the hope
that I have not inconvenienced you by my perseverance in soliciting
the occupation of Thrushcross Grange: I heard yesterday you had had
some thoughts -- Thrushcross Grange is my own, sir, he interrupted,
wincing. I should not allow anyone to inconvenience me, if I could
hinder it -- walk in
