Wuthering Heights (Annotated)

Wuthering Heights is Emily Bronte's only book, written between October 1845 and June 1846, and published in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell; Bronte died the following year, aged 30. The novel and Anne Bronte's Agnes Grey were accepted by publisher Thomas Newby before 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 in 1850.
Wuthering Heights is the name of the farmhouse where the story unfolds. The book's core theme is the destructive effect of jealousy and vengefulness both on the jealous or vengeful individuals and on their communities.
Although Wuthering Heights is now widely regarded as a classic of English literature, contemporary reviews for the novel were deeply polarized; it was considered controversial because its depiction of mental and physical cruelty was unusually stark, and it challenged strict Victorian ideals of the day, including religious hypocrisy, morality, social classes and gender inequality.
