Emily Bronte (1848) was an English novelist and poet who didnât live long enough to give the world all she could have, but she did write
Wuthering Heights
, her only novel, which is now generally considered a classic in English and Western literature.
Bronte and her sisters attempted to write several different novels and stories, eventually publishing a volume of poems under male pseudonyms entitled
Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell. Most of the poetry was Emilyâs, but it didnât get popular reviews, leading the sisters to begin novels.
Emilyâs sisters produced acclaimed novels like
Agnes Grey
and
Jane Eyre
, but today itâs Emilyâs
Wuthering Heights
that is considered the best.
