Nominated as one of Americaâs best-loved novels by PBSâs The Great American Read
Wuthering Heights, first published in 1847, the year before the author's death at the age of thirty, endures today as perhaps the most powerful and intensely original novel in the English language. âOnly Emily BrontÃŦ,â V.S. Pritchett said about the author and her contemporaries, âexposes her imagination to the dark spirit.â And Virginia Woolf wrote, âIt is as if she could tear up all that we know human beings by, and fill these unrecognisable transparencies with such a gust of life that they transcend reality. Hers, then, is the rarest of all powers. She could free life from its dependence on facts, with few touches indicate the spirit of a face so that it needs no body; by speaking of the moor make the wind blow and the thunder roar.â
This Modern Library edition contains a biographical note and preface by the author's sister Charlotte BrontÃŦ, and an Introduction by Diane Johnson.

Emily Jane BrontÃŦ was the most solitary member of a unique, tightly-knit, English provincial family. Born in 1818, she shared the parsonage of the town of Haworth, Yorkshire, with her older sister, Charlotte, her brother, Branwell, her younger sister, Anne, and her father, The Reverend Patrick BrontÃŦ. All five were poets and writers; all but Branwell would publish at least one book.
Fantasy was the BrontÃŦ childrenâs one relief from the rigors of religion and the bleakness of life in an impoverished region. They invented a series of imaginary kingdoms and constructed a whole library of journals, stories, poems, and plays around their inhabitants. Emilyâs special province was a kingdom she called Gondal, whose romantic heroes and exiles owed much to the poems of Byron.
Brief stays at several boarding schools were the sum of her experiences outside Haworth until 1842, when she entered a school in Brussels with her sister Charlotte. After a year of study and teaching there, they felt qualified to announce the opening of a school in their own home, but could not attract a single pupil.
In 1845 Charlotte BrontÃŦ came across a manuscript volume of her sisterâs poems. She knew at once, she later wrote, that they were ânot at all like poetry women generally writeâĶthey had a peculiar musicâwild, melancholy, and elevating.â At her sisterâs urging, Emilyâs poems, along with Anneâs and Charlotteâs, were published pseudonymously in 1846. An almost complete silence greeted this volume, but the three sisters, buoyed by the fact of publication, immediately began to write novels. Emilyâs effort was Wuthering Heights; appearing in 1847 it was treated at first as a lesser work by Charlotte, whose Jane Eyre had already been published to great acclaim. Emily BrontÃŦâs name did not emerge from behind her pseudonym of Ellis Bell until the second edition of her novel appeared in 1850.
In the meantime, tragedy had struck the BrontÃŦ family. In September of 1848 Branwell had succumbed to a life of dissipation. By December, after a brief illness, Emily too was dead; her sister Anne would die the next year. Wuthering Heights, Emilyâs only novel, was just beginning to be understood as the wild and singular work of genius that it is. âStronger than a man,â wrote Charlotte, âSimpler than a child, her nature stood alone.â
