Wuthering Heights, Emily Brontë’s only novel, was published in 1847 under the pseudonym ‘Ellis Bell’.
Although Wuthering Heights is now a classic of English literature, contemporaneous reviews were deeply polarised; it was controversial because of its unusually stark depiction of mental and physical cruelty, and it challenged strict Victorian ideals regarding religious hypocrisy, morality, social classes and gender inequality.
