    Akcja Wichrowych Wzgórz rozgrywa się na przełomie XVIII i XIX w. Earnshaw, właściciel majątku Wuthering Heights (tytułowe Wichrowe Wzgórza), przywozi do domu bezdomnego, cygańskiego chłopca, którego znalazł na ulicach Liverpoolu i nakazuje własnym dzieciom traktować go jak brata. Pomiędzy przybyszem a małą Cathy rodzi się więź tak silna, że z czasem przestają się liczyć nie tylko z konwenansami, ale i z ludźmi, wśród których żyją. Namiętność Heathcliffa i Catherine obnaża mroczną stronę ludzkiej natury, jest mściwa, wszechogarniająca i dzika jak wrzosowiska Yorkshire. Bohaterowie powieści Bront płacą za to najwyższą cenę, a za ich błędy musi odpokutować następne pokolenie. Od paru dni powoli, więc z namysłem, lecz i z rosnącym zachwytem czytam Wichrowe Wzgórza Emily Bront. Nie wiem, dlaczego nigdy po tę książkę nie sięgnąłem. Ale wcale się nie martwię, że się tak właśnie działo. Latom starszym też się należą odkrycia i chociaż odmienny zazwyczaj posiadają charakter od rewelacji przeżywanych za młodu przecież coś najbardziej istotnego z wielkich oczarowań tak charakterystycznych dla uniesień młodzieńczych spływa na zachwyt lat późniejszych i kto wie, czy ów coraz rzadziej dany do przeżycia blask nie promieniuje zwielokrotnionym natężeniem światła, już z tej choćby przyczyny, że bywa mało powszedni, posiada zatem charakter uroczystości świątecznej. Myślę, iż mądrzy lekarze zamiast skomplikowanych recept powinni swoim nieuleczalnym pacjentom przepisywać wielką sztukę.

    The literary masterpieces of the three Brontë sisters in one volume: Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.

Originally published under male pseudonyms in the 1840s, these three novels later helped give rise to the feminist literary movement of the late nineteenth century, in which women’s perspectives became more accepted by the mainstream reading public.

    Meet the women who wrote. They wrote against all odds. Some wrote defiantly; some wrote desperately. Some wrote while trapped within the confines of status and wealth. Some wrote hand-to-mouth in abject poverty. Some wrote trapped in a room of their father’s house, and some went in search of a room of their own. They had lovers and families. They were sometimes lonely. Many wrote anonymously or under a pseudonym for a world not yet ready for their genius and talent. We know many of their names—Austen and Alcott, Brontë and Browning, Wheatley and Woolf—though some may be less familiar. They are here, waiting to introduce themselves. They marched through the world one by one or in small sisterhoods, speaking to each other and to us over distances of place and time. Pushing back against the boundaries meant to keep us in our place, they carved enough space for themselves to write. They made space for us to follow. Here they are gathered together, an army of women who wrote and an arsenal of words to inspire us. They walk with us as we forge our own paths forward. These women wrote to change the world.
