Emily Bronte

1818 to 1848

English novelist and poet whose solitary novel remains one of the fiercest works in the nineteenth-century canon.

Bronte matters because Wuthering Heights feels unlike almost anything beside it: elemental, mythic, and emotionally merciless.

Why this author stays central

Wuthering Heights is both the obvious starting point and the full case for her enduring reputation.

  • Emily Bronte published under the pseudonym Ellis Bell.
