  2. Emily Bronte 1818-1848 In 1818, Emily Bronte was born in Yorkshire, England to Patrick Bronte and Maria Branwell. She is the fifth of six children and perhaps the greatest writer of the three Brontë sisters – Charlotte Emily and Anne. Emily Brontë published only one novel, Wuthering Heights in (1847). Emily Brontë died of tuberculosis in the late 1848. She had caught cold at her brother Branwell's funeral in September. After the appearance of Wuthering Heighs, some skeptics maintained that the book was written by Branwell, on the grounds that no woman from such circumscribed life, could have written such passionate story.
