Order of Emily Bronte Books

Emily Bronte was an English author best known as the author of the classic piece of English literature, Wuthering Heights. In addition, she also published a book of poetry with her sisters Charlotte and Anne titled Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell. The poems that she wrote in this edition are regarded to be poetic genius.

When she was 13, she and her sister Anne began writing about Gondal, a fictional island with myths and legends that the two would return to throughout their lives. While much it is lost, Emily’s work at this time featured themes of romanticism and noble savagery that she would revisit later. She spent a brief period as an adult as a teacher, but ended up leaving due to poor health. When she first published Wuthering Heights in 1847, the violence an d passion in the book made many think that it was written by a man. Bronte was born in England in July of 1818 and lived until December of 1848. She passed away before she knew how popular her book would become. She was very very sick and so thin that her coffin measured only 16 inches wide.
