Wuthering Heights

Published in 1847, Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, concerns two families of the landed gentry living on the West Yorkshire moors, the Earnshaws and the Lintons, and their turbulent relationships with the Earnshaws' foster son, Heathcliff. Whilst it is now widely considered to be one of the greatest novels ever written in English, contemporaneous reviews were polarised. It was controversial for its depictions of mental and physical cruelty, including domestic abuse, and for its challenges to Victorian morality and religious and societal values.Narrated by Michael Ward.
