Emily Bronte


            
             Emily Bronte was born on July 30, 1818 on Thornton at Bradford, Mr. The Bronte family moved to a remote region of northern England called Haworth. Since Emily and her remaining sisters were too young to provide for the family, Emily's aunt, Elizabeth Branwell, moved in to take the position as main caregiver and guardian to the Bronte family. Educationally, Bronte was influenced most by her father Patrick Bronte. Bronte displayed her unconventional thinking through the character of Catharine Earnshaw. Growing up, Emily and sister Charlotte were very close, so her sisters absence had a profound impact on her happiness. .
             While her sister was away at school, Emily and her younger sister Anne were left to find their own way in literature. Together Anne and Emily began to work on a fantasy series called the "Gondal Chronicles." On July 29, 1835 Bronte departed for school at Roe Head to be with her older sister Charlotte. Bronte hated everything about school- the organized routine, hours of classroom time, and even play time- and eventually she grew extremely unhappy and homesick. In 1846 Bronte's first literary work was published, Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell. In September of 1848 Branwell, Emily's brother, died of a serious form of cold- influenza. On December 19, 1848 Emily Bronte died of inflammation of the lungs, and shortly afterwards her younger sister Anne died of a similar disease.
             Bronte, known as the "Sphinx of literature", was very unconventional in school, love, marriage, and morality. Charlotte, the only living member of the Bronte family left, revealed the true carrier of the name Ellis Bell, and she published some of the secret writings of Bronte.
