Emily Bronte left the Yorkshire moors only a handful of times in her entire life, refused to see a doctor as she was dying, and produced a single novel that remains one of the most ferocious and original works in English literature. Wuthering Heights was so unlike anything that had come before that critics did not know what to make of it. Emily was dead within a year of its publication, at thirty, having never acknowledged the book in public.
This episode traces Emily from the Haworth parsonage through the secret poetry, the pseudonymous publication of Wuthering Heights, and the swift tuberculosis death that left her sister Charlotte to manage her posthumous reputation.
