A rare first-edition copy of Emily Brontë’s novel “Wuthering Heights,” featuring spelling mistakes, is being offered at auction for the first time in more than a century, according to multiple outlets. The books’ specific condition—described as a first edition and noted for errors in spelling—appears to be a key part of its rarity and appeal to collectors.
The reports also place the sale in the context of renewed public interest in Brontë’s work, noting that the novel’s readership is being boosted by a recent big-screen adaptation. That resurgence in attention is described as contributing to wider fan interest, even as the auction focuses on the historical significance of the particular volume.
While details such as the auction house, date, and expected price are not included in the provided summaries, all sources agree on the core facts: the item is a first edition of “Wuthering Heights,” it contains spelling mistakes, and it is coming to market after a long period outside public auction circulation. The coverage describes the event as notable for both its literary importance and its collector value.
