Emily Bront was born in Thornton, Yorkshire, in the north of England. Her father was the rector of Hawort from 1820. After their mother died in 1821, the children spe

To escape their unhappy childhood, Anne, Emily, Charlotte and their brother Branwell created imaginary worlds - perhaps inspired by Jonathan Swifts Gullivers Travels (1726).

In contrast to Charlotte and Anne, whose novels take the form of autobiographies written by authoritative and reliable narrators, Emily introduced an unreliable narrator, Lockwood. He constantly misinterprets the rea

More reliable is Nelly Dean, his housekeeper, who has lived for two generations with the novels two principal families, the Earnshaws and the Lintons.

12、heir identity and to help quell rumors that a single author lay behind the pseudonyms. After her sisters deaths, Charlotte edited a second edition of their novels, with prefatory commentary aimed at correcting what she saw as the reviewers misunderstanding of Wuthering Heights.
