Emily Brontë was born August 20, 1818. She was still a young girl when her mother and two older sisters died. Her father, a strict Anglican minister, raised the four remaining Brontës on the lonely English moors. Emily, as wild and restless as the mysterious moors, soon discovered that her unique genius was as demonic as the landscape. Driven to creative heights never before explored by a woman author, she wrote her single novel, Wuthering Heights. Her prose revealed her poetic genius while the well-constructed and tightly-controlled plot created a masterpiece of English literature. Emily Brontë may have destroyed herself in Wuthering Heights. It was released in 1847, and a year later, racked with fever and consumption, she died quietly in her home on the lonely moors.
