Wuthering Heights Wuthering Heights Wuthering Heights, Emily Brontë's only novel, was published in 1847 under the pseudonym "Ellis Bell". It was written between October 1845 and June 1846. "Wuthering Heights" and Anne Brontë's "Agnes Grey" were accepted by publisher Thomas Newby before the success of their 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. Although "Wuthering Heights" is now a classic of English literature, contemporary reviews were deeply polarised; it was controversial because of its unusually stark depiction of
Wuthering Heights corpse and dancing with it in the cold moonlight". The song "Cath" by indie rock band Death Cab for Cutie was inspired by "Wuthering Heights". The poem "Wuthering" (2017) by Tanya Grae uses "Wuthering Heights" as an allegory. Maryse Condé's "Windward Heights" ("La migration des coeurs", published in 1995; English translation published in 1998) is a reworking of "Wuthering Heights" set in Cuba and Guadaloupe at the turn of the 20th century, which Condé stated she intended as an homage to Brontë.
