Klasické dílo anglické literatury. Autorka mistrně vystihla nejtemnější zákoutí lidské duše, zlobu a záludnost. Jeden z nejtemnějších a nejsmutnějších příběhů světové literatury. Ponurost větrných vřesovišť jako by podněcovala pana Heathcliffa k splácení všech skutečných i domnělých křivd, jež se mu v životě přihodily. Pln nenávisti, smutku, lásky i bolesti, zlý i hluboce nešťastný myslí jen na jedno – na pomstu. Autorka sugestivně líčí prostředí, v němž vyrůstal, i příčiny, proč z vnímavého chlapce vyrostl uzavřený záludný člověk, který zasvětil život pomstě.

This is a diverting delight, a window on romance in literature. There are high lovers and low lovers, tragic lovers, comic lovers, and lovers who shouldn’t be doing what they are doing at all and certainly not then and there. There is even Fanny Hill trying not to discover what physical love is about when set upon by an old roué who has paid for the privilege. Though of special interest for lovers and their special lover’s day of St. Valentine, it is an amusing and sometimes surprising collection.

Charlotte, Emily, and Anne examine life on the moors, romance, and death in a series of lyric poems that were written in their early years.

"Se tutto il resto scomparisse e restasse solo lui, continuerei a esistere.""Un romanzo in cui domina la violenza sugli uomini, sugli animali, sulle cose, scandito da scatti di crudeltà sia fisica sia, soprattutto, morale. Un romanzo brutale e rozzo - sono gli aggettivi utilizzati dalla critica dell'epoca - che scuoteva gli animi per la sua potenza e la sua tetraggine e che narra il consumarsi di un'inesorabile (sino a un certo punto) vendetta portata avanti con fredda meticolosità dal disumano Heathcliff.
