Emily Jane Bronte was a British novelist and poet who had an extraordinary personality. She was born one of the six 

children of an Irish clergyman, Patrick Bronte, and his wife Maria, at Thornton, Bradford, Yorkshire in the north of 

England, on the 30

th

 of July in the year 1818. By 1825 her mother and two eldest siblings were dead, leaving Emily, her 

sisters Charlotte and Anne, and their brother Branwell. They were living in Haworth, a quiet village on the Yorkshire 

moors, where Emily spent most of her brief life, studying with her sisters, writing stories and poems, and walking on the 

moors. She had no close companion, wrote few epistles, and was very sad because of being far from her homeland or the 

wild fields covered moors she liked so internally. 

In 1846, the three sisters published a book of their poems, using the male nicknames of Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell. 

The poems did not evoke much interest, but in 1847 three novels output; Emily’s Wuthering Heights, Charlotte’s Jane Eyre 

and Anne’s Agnes Grey and these had reached the great achievement. Emily Bronte died on the 19

th

 of December in the 

year 1848 when she was only thirty years old, before her sister’s Anne’s death and a short time after his brother’s death. 

Charlotte was the only child who had to care for her old father. 

Emily Bronte was highly asocial and isolated from her contemporaries. She has currently best known for her one and 

only fiction Wuthering Heights, a classic of English literature. Wuthering Heights was published in 1850 by Emily's real 

name. In the 19

th

 century, the readers of Wuthering Heights were surprised by the violence of the characters’ emotions and
