Jane Eyre & Wuthering Heights Brontë Sisters 2-Volume Set (1945, Illustrated)

Two sisters. Two storms. One unforgettable set.

This vintage 1945 hardcover pair brings together Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre and Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights—gothic masterpieces born on the wild Yorkshire moors and still howling through literary history. Both books feature haunting wood engravings by Fritz Eichenberg, pictorial boards (some wear—Jane’s corners are bumped), and top-stained pages now faded like old memories. Each carries a signature from a 1946 owner and a tribute inscription to "Currer Bell"—Charlotte’s pen name when women had to write like men to be read.

Jane Eyre dares to ask: can a woman be poor, plain, principled—and still matter?

Wuthering Heights howls back: what if love isn’t nice, but necessary—even ruinous?

Their books have been banned for being too passionate, too defiant, too feminist. In other words—too real. These aren’t just novels, they’re rebellions in disguise. Proof that women’s voices, even when whispered under male pseudonyms, can shake centuries.
