Emily Brontė (1818 - 1848)
Over time, Emily has been considered the greatest writer of the three Brontė sisters.
Emily was born on July 30, 1818, in Thornton, Yorkshire.
The Bronte family moved to Haworth when Emily was only two.
Emily Bronte published only one novel, "Wuthering Heights" (1847).
After her mother died in 1821, Emily spent most of her time in reading and composition.
Between the years 1824 and 1825 Emily Bronte attended the school at Cowan Bridge with Charlotte, and then was largely educated at home.
In 1835 Emily Bronte was at Roe Head, but returned home after a few months due to being homesick.
In 1837, she spent six months as a governess at Law Hill, near Halifax.
Emily and Charlotte Bronte went in 1842 to Brussels to learn foreign languages and school management.
Emily returned on the same year to Haworth.
Her first novel, Wuthering Heights (1847), failed to gain immediate success.
But it has since became one of the most succesful novels in history.
Emily Bronte died of tuberculosis in the late 1848.
She had caught cold at her brother Branwell's funeral in September.
