The Bronte sisters grew up in the wild, windswept moors of Yorkshire, and produced some of the greatest works in the English language. Emily Bronte was born on July 30th, 1818, in Yorkshire. The three Bronte sisters, Charlotte, Anne, and Emily Bronte lost their mother while they were children.
All the three children were literary geniuses. Among them, Emily Bronte wrote ‘Wuthering Heights’, a classic novel of English literature. The three sisters had pen names, too. Emily took the pen name of Ellis Bell. Charlotte was Currer Bell, and Anne wrote as Acton Bell.
Emily wrote poems and prose about an imaginary place called Gondal. ‘No Coward Soul is Mine’, is Emily Bronte’s best known poem. The three sisters produced an anthology of their poetry in 1846 titled ‘Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell’. Of the three sisters, only Emily was a poetess of genius. Emily Bronte died on December 19th, 1848.
