He worked on it from 1943 to 1951. It is cast in a prologue, 4 acts, and an epilogue that repeats the music of the prologue. The opera was recorded in full by the composer in 1966, but it has still never received a complete theatrical performance (there was an abridged stage production in 1982 and a concert version in 2010. A centenary production has been announced for April 2011). The libretto was by Herrmann's first wife, Lucille Fletcher, based on the first part of Emily Bronte's novel of the same name. Fletcher also interpolated some text from the second part of the novel, and from some unrelated poems by Emily Bronte (such as "I have been wandering through the Green Woods"). By the time the work was finished, Fletcher and Herrmann had divorced and he had married her cousin.
