Emily Brontë

Emily Brontë (1818-1848) was an English novelist and poet best known for her sole novel Wuthering Heights (1847), a gothic romance set on the Yorkshire moors that explores themes of passion and revenge. She also co-authored a collection of poetry with her sisters Charlotte and Anne under the pseudonyms Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell. Though her life was marked by solitude and reserve, she is regarded as perhaps the greatest of the three Brontë sisters and produced one of the most celebrated works in English literature.
