Emily Brontë
Emily Brontëwas an English novelist and poet, best remembered for her only novel, Wuthering Heights, now considered a classic of English literature. She died at the age of 30. She remains a mysterious figure and a challenge to biographers because information about her is sparse, due to her solitary and reclusive nature. She does not seem to have made any friends outside her family.
