Emily Brontë

Emily Brontë was born in 1818 and spent almost her whole life at the parsonage in Haworth, in Yorkshire, writing with her sister Anne the chronicles of an imaginary kingdom and holding a teaching post for only a few months. She published under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, like her two sisters who signed Currer and Acton, first names chosen so as not to appear frankly masculine. She died of tuberculosis in 1848, aged thirty, refusing doctors, three months after her brother and five months before her younger sister.
