Wuthering Heights Wuthering Heights is Emily Bront? 's only novel. It was first published in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, and a posthumous second edition was edited by her sister Charlotte. The name of the novel comes from the Yorkshire manor on the moors on which the story cen tres (as an adjective, wutheri ng is a Yorkshire word referring to turbule nt weather).

Taylor and songs (no tably the hit Wutheri ng Heights by Kate Bush), ballet and opera.
