Wuthering Heights has been named as the best romantic novel of all time, according to an article in This is London.
Emily Bronte's 1847 tale of thwarted love between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, set on the Yorkshire moors, beat classics by Daphne du Maurier, DH Lawrence and Bronte's elder sister Charlotte.
Pride And Prejudice, Jane Austen's comic novel about the love affair which develops between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy, came second.
Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet, the oldest work in the Top 20, is third.
The poll, commissioned by UKTV Drama, found the 1595 play also contains the favourite romantic moment of all time: The star-crossed lovers' balcony scene.
