Bio
Emily Brontë was an English novelist and poet whose fiercely original imagination produced the Gothic masterpiece Wuthering Heights and a striking body of verse published with her sisters under the Bell pseudonyms. Drawing on the private myth-world of Gondal and a deep affinity with the Yorkshire moors, her work channels intense, Byronic passions and elemental forces that unsettled Victorian taste. Though Wuthering Heights initially shocked critics, it is now celebrated as a landmark of English literature, while poems such as "No coward soul is mine" have found a wide and lasting audience. Her uncompromising vision and singular voice have inspired generations of writers, artists and adaptations, securing her place as one of the most original literary figures of her era.
