Emily Brontë
1818–1848
Emily Brontë (1818–1848) was born at Thornton, Yorkshire, and spent almost all her life at Haworth parsonage. Apart from brief periods at school and as a teacher, and nine months in Brussels in 1842, she stayed at home, writing poetry — some of the finest of the century — and, with her sister Anne, the long imaginary saga of Gondal. Her only novel, Wuthering Heights, appeared in December 1847 under the name Ellis Bell. She died of tuberculosis a year later, aged thirty.
