Short Review - Wuthering Heights By Emily Bronte

Wuthering Heights is a novel by Emily Bronte. It was her first and only published novel, as she died aged 30 the following year. The decision to publish came after the success of her sister Charlotte's novel, Jane Eyre. After Emily's death, Charlotte edited the manuscript of Wuthering Heights, and arranged for the edited version to be published as a posthumous second edition.

One of the most sensational creations by Emily Bronte, this book speaks to the death of loving notions; even the comparatively happy conclusion does not seem to come from a grand love or burning romance, but from quiet acceptance. The only winning relationship does not begin in secret and it is never dramatic; it is a quiet adjustment of two people towards one another, a co-evolution.


Wuthering Heights is many things and has much to recommend it as a novel. It is written in a gorgeous old-fashioned fictitious style that is both challenging and pleasing. The plot is convincing. It evokes strong emotions. The plot follows the relationship between a well-to-do country girl, Catherine, and the orphan boy, Heathcliff, taken in by her father and how their relationship affects everyone in their influence over a generation. Catherine marries a boy closer to her station and Heathcliff’s life then becomes one of proving himself and of illustrating the error of his loved one’s ways. It does not go well, not for anyone. This, of course, makes for an excellent tale.
