Titled after the name of the farmhouse where most of the story unfolds, Wuthering Heights is an acclaimed novel about jealousy and revenge. The book is hailed as a classic in English literature and has been praised for challenging the old Victorian values of that time. Highly controversial then, Emily Bronte's only novel is widely considered by many as the best of the Bronte sisters' works.

Jefferies' novel can be seen as an early example of "post-apocalyptic fiction." After some sudden and unspecified catastrophe has depopulated England, the countryside reverts to nature, and the few survivors to a quasi-medieval way of life. The first part of the book, "The Relapse into Barbarism", is the account by some later historian of the fall of civilization and its consequences, with a loving description of nature reclaiming England. The second part, "Wild England", is an adventure set many years later in the wild landscape and society.
