|  | Wuthering Heights by Charlotte Bronte, Diane Johnson, Elizabeth Seely, Emily Bronte, Ian Jack
Emily Bronte's novel is about two families in Yorkshire, a brooding Byronic hero, and a love that is stronger than death. WUTHERING HEIGHTS is her only novel--unless it is true that, upon her death, her sister Charlotte burned the manuscript of another. Drawing on the Gothic tradition, it is a tale of obsession, and tells the story of Catherine Earnshaw, a wilfull and romantic girl brought up to be a lady, and Heathcliff, the mysterious gypsy orphan. The relationship between these two remains tempestuous to its end, and affects future generations of these complicated families. The novel's complex structure and point of view were ahead of their time. AUTHOR: Charlotte Bronte, Diane Johnson, Elizabeth Seely, Emily Bronte, Ian Jack
