Critics Review
“It is as if Emily Bront
“It is as if Emily Brontë could tear up all that we know human beings by, and fill these unrecognizable transparencies with such a gust of life that they transcend reality.”—Virginia Woolf
Emily Brontë
Emily Jane Brontë was born July 30, 1818, at Thornton in Yorkshire, the fifth of six children of Patrick and Maria Brontë. Although Emily did spend a few short times away from Haworth, it was her primary residence and the rectory where she resided now serves as a Brontë Museum. Emily’s only close friends were her brother Branwell and her sisters Charlotte and Anne. Emily died of tuberculosis on December 19, 1848, also at the age of thirty, and never knew the great success of her only novel Wuthering Heights, which was published almost exactly a year before her death.
