Emily Bronte

The Profile

Emily Brontë (1818–1848) was an English novelist and poet, best known as the author of Wuthering Heights (published 1847).

Author of Wuthering Heights (1847); member of the Brontë family; published poetry and a single novel in her lifetime.

The review reads Wuthering Heights as a quintessential Romantic work that subverts the traditional novel’s journey trope. Characters remain in stasis, with Heathcliff and Catherine driving the moral and emotional core. Literature (and poetry) is praised for revealing the pure, haunting voice beyond reality.
