Emily Brontë’s most significant contribution to literature is her only novel, Wuthering Heights, published in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell. The novel is a profound exploration of passion, revenge and the destructive nature of love, set against the bleak and windswept Yorkshire moors.
The story revolves around the intense and tumultuous relationship between Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by the Earnshaw family, and Catherine Earnshaw, the family’s daughter. Their love is both transcendent and destructive, leading to a series of tragic events that affect not only their lives, but those of the next generation.
Wuthering Heights is structured as a frame narrative, with the story told by the housekeeper, Nelly Dean, to a visitor called Lockwood. This narrative technique adds layers of perspective and ambiguity to the story, allowing the reader to engage with the characters and their motivations in a deeply personal way.
