Emily Bronte’s 1847 novel “Wuthering Heights” is the perfect chilly season read.
It even inspired a suitably haunting Kate Bush song in 1978.
Of the many memorable lines populating the story of Catherine and Heathcliff, one remains the most popular.
““Whatever our souls are made out of, his and mine are the same.”
Catherine and Heathcliff, according to the site, aren’t soulmates.
Like her sister, Charlotte published under a pseudonym, using Currer Bell (viaBritish Library).
Though some critics scoffed at Jane’s independence, others praised the book for its realism.
According toThe Guardian, the eldest Bronte worried that Emily’s reputation would somehow mar her own success.
She argued that “Wuthering Heights” was far more accidental in its coarseness than it was intentional.
