She published Wuthering Heights in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell and died of tuberculosis the following year. Her only novel is one of the most intense and structurally unusual works of nineteenth-century fiction.
Wuthering Heights is a violent family romance told through layered narration. Mr. Lockwood, a tenant at Thrushcross Grange, becomes curious about his landlord Heathcliff and the strange household at Wuthering Heights.
