Emily Brontë was an English author and poet best known for her only book, Wuthering Heights, which is today regarded as a classic of English literature. Patrick Bront, an Irishman, and Maria Branwell welcomed Emily Bront into the world on July 30, 1818. She was one of six children, the second youngest. In the age of seventeen, Emily enrolled at the Roe Head Girls' School, where Charlotte worked as a teacher, but she departed after a short time due to severe homesickness. Beginning in September 1838, when she was twenty years old, Emily started working as a teacher at Law Hill School in Halifax. Under the strain of the 17-hour workday, her already weakened health quickly broke, and she eventually went home in April 1839. Because of her reclusive lifestyle, biographers have found it difficult to understand the intriguing author Emily Emily Brontë. Emily does not appear to have developed any friends outside of her family, with the exception of Ellen Nussey and Louise de Bassompierre, a fellow student at Brussels. Her sister Anne, with whom she had their own imaginary world, was her closest friend. On December 19, 1848, Emily passed away. "If you would send for a doctor, I will see him now," were her final words to her daughter Charlotte before it was too late.
