  1. Emily Brontë wrote Wuthering Heights. Despite what people think, it is largely set indoors. As a kid you think it is a Great Love Story: as an adult, you see it as a tale of how violence is passed down generations and can be overcome - people forget the ending, where Cathy Linton and Hareton Earnshaw are happy together. Charlotte wrote 4 books, Anne wrote 2. Emily only published one. She was working on another when she died, but her rather controlling sister Charlotte destroyed it. The Brontës were half Irish btw: Their father Patrick came from Ulster, and rose, incredibly, from peasant life to being a Cof E minister. His wife died young and he outlived all six of his children. Tragic life, but sadly common at that time. You won't find me being nostalgic for the days before antibiotics!
