Autor

Emily Brontë (1818-1848) The third of the famous Brontë siblings, Emily Jane Brontë was an English novelist and poet. Her most famous work Wuthering Heights - and her only novel - was published under the pen name, Ellis Bell, in 1847. Although Emily is best known for writing Wuthering Heights, she was a prolific poet who wrote around 200 poems in her lifetime. She contributed many of her well-known poems to Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell, which Emily published in 1846 along with her sisters, Charlotte and Anne Brontë. According to Charlotte Brontë, Emily was reclusive and shy. Interestingly, her solitary nature was reserved for human beings, while her warmth emerged when she found herself in nature. An empathetic person, she took in her surroundings while wandering the moors with her sister, Anne, and poured it into the saga of everlasting love: Wuthering Heights. Despite being criticized when it was first published, the novel is today considered one of the finest works in English literature.
