About the Author
Emily Brontë was born on 30 July 1818 in Yorkshire, England. She was the fifth child of Reverend Patrick Brontë and Maria Branwell Brontë. Brontë enjoyed her quiet life back home, reading extensively and making up stories with her siblings Charlotte and Anne Brontë, who were also famous authors. Her earliest known works are set in a fictional world called Gondal, which she created with her sister Anne. This imaginary place and its people inspired many tales and poems. It was her sister Charlotte who discovered some of Emily’s poems and decided to publish them along with Anne’s and her own work. Written under male pen names—Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell—the poems published in 1846, sold only a few copies and reaped little attention. Emily continued to write most of her literature under the pseudonym ‘Ellis Bell’. Her most popular novel Wuthering Heights garnered critical and commercial acclaim, and is still loved more than a century later. Emily never knew the extent of fame she had achieved with her only novel as she died of tubercolosis.
