�crit sous un pseudonyme masculin, paru en 1847, Hurlevent est le premier et le seul roman d'Emily Bront�, qui mourra un an plus tard. Ce livre aux p�rip�ties violentes, qui fit scandale et fascina des g�n�rations d'�crivains - de Virginia Woolf � Patti Smith, en passant par Georges Bataille -, raconte l'histoire d'un amour maudit, dont l'�chec p�se sur toute une famille et sur deux g�n�rations, jusqu'� l'apaisement final. "Emily �tait pareille � un petit volcan qui, endormi, aurait pourtant bouillonn� sans arr�t et aurait crach� sa lave dans les mots et les actions des personnages qu'elle avait choisis. [...] Son esprit sans entrave n'a pas cr�� un monde propret. En �crivant Hurlevent, elle n'a pas offert ce que les gens souhaitaient : elle a offert ce qu'elle avait." Patti Smith.
