One of the more popular books by Emily Bronte is
Wuthering Heights. It is simply about two houses,
Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange, and the
relationships between their inhabitants. Because

and barren moors, one by the name of Wuthering
Heights, and the other Thrushcross Grange. Each
house stand...

Jane Austen Novels Jane Austen Austen's
783 words
"Miss Austen was surely a great novelist. What she
did, she did perfectly. Her work, as far as it
goes, is faultless. She wrote of the times in
which she lived, of the class of people with which
she associated, and in the language which was
usual to her as an educated lady. Of romance, --
what we generally mean when we speak of romance --
she had no tinge. Heroes and heroines with
wonderful adventures there are none in her novels.
Of great criminals and hidden crimes she tells us
nothing. But sh...
