Emily Bronte (1848) was an English novelist and poet who didn't live long enough to give the world all she could have, but she did writeWuthering Heights**, her only novel, which is now generally considered a classic in English and Western literature.**
Bronte and her sisters attempted to write several different novels and stories, eventually publishing a volume of poems under male pseudonyms entitled Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell. Most of the poetry was Emily's, but it didn't get popular reviews, leading the sisters to begin novels.
Emily's sisters produced acclaimed novels likeAgnes GreyandJane Eyre**, but today it's Emily's** Wuthering Heightsthat is considered the best.
