Christie's will auction a first edition of Emily Bronte's novel "Wuthering Heights" in London, England, on 30/6. The work is expected to achieve between 540,000 and 800,000 USD, and will be accompanied by a first edition of "Agnes Grey," a novel by Emily's sister, Anne Bronte, according to AP News.

Representatives from Christie's state that this particular book is one of only 250 copies from the novel's initial print run. It is a rare copy, as it retains its original cloth binding, making it the first such edition to appear on the auction floor in over one hundred years. Most other surviving copies have been rebound for libraries and collectors.

Furthermore, this first edition contains numerous typesetting and spelling errors. Several pages notably misspell the word "heights".

"Wuthering Heights" tells the story of the bitter love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff. First published in 1847, it was Emily Bronte's only novel, released under the pseudonym Ellis Bell to circumvent societal prejudices against female writers at the time.

Only after the author's death at age 30 was her talent widely recognized. The book has since become one of the classics of English literature, and "Wuthering Heights" was once voted the most beautiful love story of all time.

The novel has been adapted into film many times, most famously the 1939 version starring Merle Oberon and Laurence Olivier. This year, director Emerald Fennell released a new cinematic adaptation, offering a fresh take on the classic story. The film, featuring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, has garnered attention from critics and audiences alike, also sparking debate due to its significant changes from the original novel.
