Emily Bronte _____.

EMILY BRONTE, born in 1818, was one of a clever family which included her sister Charlotte, who wrote “JANE EYRE”. Their mother died young and the children had a severe upbringing, receiving little affection from their father. Mr. Bronte, an Irishman, was a priest of the Church of England, and had a charge of a church in a wild part of Yorkshire, where the country people, at this time, far from civilisation, were very hard, unfriendly and violent. Emily's love of this part of the country, and her knowledge of its people, are reflected in “Wuthering Heights” , her only novel.
