Bronte/Wuthering Heights/Thomas Jefferson Education

One of the classic novels of all time can be found at Wuthering Heights

Wuthering Heights was not well received when it was first published; Ms. Bronte published it under a pen name. Other than her book of poetry, "Wuthering Heights" was the only work that Ms. Bronte ever published. It wasn't until after her death that her sister published it under the real name of the author.

There were three Bronte sisters, Anne, Charlotte and Emily, each with literary talents. The first published work of the sisters was a combined book of poetry ("Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell") to which each contributed under a pen name. Each eventually published works of their own. The book of poetry may possibly be found at Poems
