Bronte, Emily (1818-1848)
"I lingered around them, under that benign sky; watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells; listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass; and wondered how anyone could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."
Emily Bronte, the English author of Wuthering Heights, was one of the three Bronte sisters who channeled their oppressive and secluded childhood experiences into a series of novels that influenced the direction of modern English literature. Bronte published Wuthering Heights in 1847.
