Wuthering Heights is a novel by Emily Bront? published in 1847 under her pseudonym "Ellis Bell". Bront?'s only finished novel, it was written between October 1845 and June 1846.Wuthering Heights and Anne Bront?'s Agnes Grey were accepted by publisher Thomas Newby before the success of her sister Charlotte's novel Jane Eyre.
