Emily Brontë (1818–1848), novelist, author of “Wuthering Heights,” was the second youngest of the famous literary siblings in the parsonage at Haworth in Yorkshire. She survives in the reminiscences of her older sister, Charlotte, as a reclusive figure, “not naturally gregarious,” withdrawn into fantasy worlds, so feverishly in love with the Yorkshire moors that she suffered crippling homesickness when away from them.
