Which among the following statements are true about Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights?
(A) This novel was published in 1847.
(B) Emily Bronte published this novel under the pseudonym Ellis Bell.
(C) Lockwood and Catherine Linton are the main narrators of the story.
(D) The novel is unique for its abstention from authorial intrusion, unusual structure and narrative technique.
(E) Wuthering Heights was the third novel of Emily Bronte.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The correct answer is (A), (B) and (D) Only.

Let's analyze each of the statements to understand why they are correct or incorrect:

Statement (A) is true: Emily Brontë's only novel, Wuthering Heights, was indeed published in December 1847. It was published in a three-volume set along with her sister Anne Brontë's novel, Agnes Grey.

Statement (B) is true: Due to the prevailing gender biases of the Victorian era, the Brontë sisters wrote under male-sounding pseudonyms. Emily Brontë published the novel under the pen name Ellis Bell, while Charlotte wrote as Currer Bell and Anne wrote as Acton Bell.

Statement (C) is false: While Lockwood is indeed one of the narrators, Catherine Linton (or Catherine Earnshaw) is not a narrator of the frame story. The two main narrators of the novel are Lockwood (the tenant of Thrushcross Grange) and Nelly Dean (Ellen Dean, the housekeeper who recounts the history of the Earnshaws and Lintons to Lockwood).

Statement (D) is true: Wuthering Heights is highly celebrated for its complex narrative structure. Instead of a direct authorial voice commenting on the events (abstention from authorial intrusion), the story is told through multiple nested frame narratives (primarily Lockwood and Nelly Dean, who in turn quote others). This complex, multi-layered perspective was highly unusual for novels of that period.

Statement (E) is false: Wuthering Heights was the first and only novel written by Emily Brontë before her untimely death in 1848. It was not her third novel.

Therefore, statements (A), (B), and (D) are correct, making (A), (B) and (D) Only the correct choice.
