Written betweenOctober 1845 and June 1846. Although is now widely regarded as aclassic of English literature, it was considered controversial because its depiction of mental and physical cruelty was unusually stark, and it challenged strict Victorian ideals of the day.In 1801, Lockwood, a wealthy man from the South of England who isseeking peace and recuperation, rents Thrushcross Grange in Yorkshire. He visits his landlord, Heathcliff, who lives in a remote moorlandfarmhouse, Wuthering Heights. There Lockwood finds an odd assemblage:Heathcliff seems to be a gentleman, but his manners are uncouth, thereserved mistress of the house is in her mid-teens, and a young manseems to be a member of the family, yet dresses and speaks as if he is a servant.
