Emily Brontë was born on 30 July 1818 in
the village of Thornton on the outskirts of Bradford, in the West Riding
of Yorkshire, in Northern England, to Maria Branwell and an Irish father,
Patrick Brontë. She was the younger sister of Charlotte Brontë and the
fifth of six children. In 1820, shortly after the birth of Emily's
younger sister Anne, the family moved eight miles away to Haworth, where
Patrick was employed as perpetual curate; here the children developed
their literary talents. After the death of their mother, the older
sisters Maria, Elizabeth and Charlotte were sent to the Clergy Daughters'
School at Cowan Bridge, where they encountered abuse and privations
later described by Charlotte in "Jane Eyre". |

WUTHERING HEIGHTS
"Wuthering
Heights" is Emily Brontë's only novel. Written between 1845 and 1846, it
was published in 1847 under the pseudonym "Ellis Bell". Brontë died the
following year, aged 30. "Wuthering Heights" was accepted by publisher
Thomas Newby before the success of her sister Charlotte's novel, "Jane
Eyre". After Emily's death, Charlotte edited the manuscript of "Wuthering
Heights", and arranged for the edited version to be published as a
posthumous second edition in 1850. Although "Wuthering Heights" is now
widely regarded as a classic of English literature, it was considered
controversial because its depiction of mental and physical cruelty was
unusually stark, and it challenged strict Victorian ideals of the day
regarding religious hypocrisy, morality, social classes and gender
inequality. |
