About Emily Brontë

Emily Brontë (1818-1848) spent most of her life in a stone parsonage in the small village of Haworth on the wild and bleak Yorkshire moors. Despite the isolation of Haworth the Brontë family shared a rich literary life. Deborah Lutz is the Thruston B. Morton Endowed Chair of English at the University of Louisville.
