Nominated as one of Americaās best-loved novels by PBSās 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. āOnly Emily BrontĆ«,ā V.S. Pritchett said about the author and her contemporaries, āexposes her imagination to the dark spirit.ā And Virginia Woolf wrote, āIt 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.ā
