Emily Brontë – one of three famous author sisters who wrote poems and novels in Victorian England. Emily only wrote one novel, but it was justifiably famous: Wuthering Heights, initially credited to the male pseudonym Ellis Bell. The novel was not critically well-received when first released but has since gained status as the best of the Brontë sisters' works, with an unorthodox narrative approach that made it unique in its day. It also spawned a hit single by Kate Bush, many many years later.
