1. Introduction
1.1 Introduction to Emily Bronte and Wuthering Heights Works
Emily Bronte (1818-1849), a famous English poet and novelist was born at Thornton, Yorkshire. She was the younger sister of Charlotte Brontë and the fifth of six children. In 1824, the family moved to Haworth, where Emily's father was perpetual curate, and it was in these surroundings that their literary oddities flourished. In childhood, after the death of their mother, the three sisters and their brother Patrick Branwell Brontë created imaginary lands, which were featured in stories they wrote. Little of Emily's work from this period survived, except for poems spoken by characters.
