Wuthering Heights. A Novel.

1848151936New York: Harper & Brothers Publishers 1848. First American edition of Emily Brontë's singular masterpiece preceding the Boston edition of the same year and published less than five months after the virtually unobtainable English edition. Octavo bound in three quarter morocco over marbled boards with five raised bands to the spine all edges marbled. The first English edition was published by Newby in 1847 as a three volume set that included Anne Brontë's Agnes Grey. In near fine condition. A very sharp example. "Like Poems Wuthering Heights was presented to an uncomprehending public without preface introduction or explanation and it was left to Charlotte ever her sister's apologist to insist that it was simply a tale of 'the wild moors of the north of England'… There was a constant litany of complaint about the brutality and violence of some of the scenes particularly involving Heathcliffe and about the use of expletives which contrary to custom Emily had written out in full rather than indicated by a dash… An American reviewer wrote in the Literary World: 'Fascinated by strange magic we… are made subject to the immense power of the book… we are spell-bound we cannot choose but read'" Barker 502 539-40. "Wuthering Heights stands alone as a monument of intensity owing nothing to tradition nothing to the achievement of earlier writers. It was a thing apart passionate unforgettable haunting in its grimness… Bronte has a sure and certain place for all time" Britannica. Although the title page of the 1848 Wuthering Heights states "By The Author of 'Jane Eyre'" it was of course Emily's older sister Charlotte who authored Jane Eyre. Not until the famous "Biographical Notice of Ellis and Acton Bell by Charlotte Bronte" in 1850 did Charlotte clearly address the matter of the pseudonyms and the true authorship of the works: "It has been thought that all the works published under the names of Currer Ellis and Acton Bell were in reality the production of one person…On this occasion…I am advised distinctly to state how the case really stands." The first London edition was published December 4 1847; this edition was published April 21 1848 simultaneously as two parts in wrappers and as a single clothbound volume. Emily died one year following her only novel's publication. Harper & Brothers, Publishers hardcover
