Emily and Anne Brontë publish Wuthering Heights and Agnes Grey under pen names

Thomas Cautley Newby published Wuthering Heights and Agnes Grey in London in December 1847, leveraging the success of Jane Eyre.

The publisher, initially slow to deal with Emily and Anne, was galvanized by the success of Charlotte's Jane Eyre. He published the two novels together in December 1847. Agnes Grey was outshone by Wuthering Heights. The original edition of Agnes Grey contained numerous errors attributed to publisher neglect.
