30 July 1818 - 19 December 1849
One of the famed Three Sisters of late-Romantic/early Victorian post-Gothic Gothicism; her claim to fame (and a very substantial one it is) rests with her novel Wuthering Heights, a dark and powerful meditation on the Romantic Self and love and who knows what all.... For my money, one of the most disturbing novels ever written — a "disturbing" that doesn't need slasher gore or blatant perversity in order to be disturbing, which is the genius of it. Prepare to get haunted.... |

Wuthering Heights
EB's masterpiece, a disturbing and compelling tale of desire and will, strongly colored by Brontë's fascination with the Gothic in general and with Lord Byron in particular.
