This article critically examines Emily Brontë’s literary career, focusing on her only novel, Wuthering Heights, and her poetic oeuvre. It explores Brontë’s unique narrative style, thematic concerns, and her subversion of 19th-century literary conventions. The study situates her work within the context of Romanticism, Gothic literature, and Victorian realism, while also considering gendered readings of her authorship. Additionally, the article discusses the initial critical reception of Wuthering Heights and how later scholarship has reassessed Brontë’s literary contributions. The analysis seeks to highlight Brontë’s significance as a writer who defied conventional literary expectations and left a lasting impact on English literature.
