Wuthering Heights is an 1847 novel by Emily Bronte, published under the pseudonym Ellis Bell.

It concerns two families of the landed gentry living on the West Yorkshire moors, the Earnshaws and the Lintons, and their turbulent relationships with Earnshaw's adopted son, Heathcliff.

It was influenced by Romanticism and Gothic fiction. Wuthering Heights is now considered a classic of English literature, but contemporaneous reviews were polarised.

It was controversial for its depictions of mental and physical cruelty, and for its challenges to Victorian morality, and religious and societal values.
