Emily Brontë was born in 1818 and grew up in a small mill town on the edge of the Yorkshire moors. After the death of their mother in 1821, Emily and her siblings were raised by their father, a country parson, and their maternal aunt. They were classically educated and enjoyed creating intricate fantasy worlds and writing poems and stories about them throughout their childhood. Her sisters Anne and Charlotte Brontë also grew up to be accomplished authors. Emily is also known for her brilliant poetry, and her only novel was Wuthering Heights, first published under the pseudonym Ellis Bell in 1847. She died the following year of tuberculosis, not knowing her work was destined to become one of the most popular and highly respected novels of all time.
