“My greatest thought in living is Heathcliff.

If all else perished, and he remained,

I should still continue to be.. . . Nelly, I am Heathcliff!

He’s always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure . . . but as my own being.”

Wuthering Heights is the only novel of Emily Brontë, who died a year after its publication, at the age of thirty.

Unique, mystical, with a timeless appeal, it has become a classic of English literature.
