Wuthering Heights / Bronte, Emily, 1818-1848

In early nineteenth-century Yorkshire, the passionate attachment between a headstrong young girl and a foundling boy brought up by her father causes tragedy for them and many others, even in the next generation.

An English tale of love and metaphysical passion in which heaven and hell, nature and sociey, and dynamic and passive forces are powerfully juxtaposed.

Forced by a storm to spend the night at the home of the somber Heathcliff, Mr. Lockwood uncovers a tale of terror and hatred on the Yorkshire moors.

A savage, tormented orphan falls wildly in love with the daughter of his benefactor.
