Emily grew up in Haworth, Yorkshire, where she and her siblings created imaginative fantasy worlds.
She briefly worked as a teacher and studied in Brussels.
Emily published her poetry alongside her sisters under the pseudonym Ellis Bell.
Wuthering Heights was published in 1847 but received mixed reviews initially.
Emily's life was cut short by tuberculosis in 1848 at age 30.
Her work gained recognition posthumously, with Wuthering Heights now considered a classic of English literature.
