About this work

Wuthering Heights is a public-domain work, here read aloud in a faithful professional narration (no recording of Emily Brontë's own voice survives).

Who was Emily Brontë?

Emily Brontë (1818–1848) published one novel, Wuthering Heights, and a body of poems, then died of tuberculosis at thirty having refused all medical help until the last morning. The novel's violence and structural daring baffled its first readers; it is now held among the greatest in the language.
