Emily Brontë的作品

Emily Brontë (1818–1848) spent almost her whole life at Haworth parsonage on the Yorkshire moors, which she loved and could hardly bear to leave. With her sister Anne she invented the imaginary world of Gondal and wrote poems about it, which Charlotte discovered in 1845 and persuaded her to publish.

Her only novel, Wuthering Heights, appeared in 1847 under the name Ellis Bell and puzzled its first readers. She died of tuberculosis a year later, at thirty, refusing a doctor until her last day. Her poems and her novel have made her one of the most original voices in English literature.
