Bio | Emily Jane Brontë was an English novelist and poet, best known for her only novel, Wuthering Heights, which has since become a classic of English literature. Her writing is characterized by its intense emotionalism and complex narrative structure. Brontë's poetry, along with that of her sisters Charlotte and Anne, was initially published under pseudonyms to avoid the prejudice against female writers. Despite her short life, her contributions to literature have had a lasting impact, and her work remains widely studied and admired. |
