Les soeurs Brontë - Oeuvres
Le Classcompilé n° 90 contient 5 romans écrits par Charlotte, Emily et Anne Brontë. La famille Brontë est une famille littéraire britannique du XIXe siècle, dont la notoriété, qui s'étend à tous ses membres, est essentiellement due aux trois soeurs, poétesses et romancières, Charlotte (née le 21 avril 1816), Emily (née le 30 juillet 1818) et Anne (née le 17 janvier 1820). Elles publient des poèmes, puis des romans, d'abord sous des pseudonymes masculins. Leurs romans attirent immédiatement l'attention, pas toujours bienveillante, pour leur originalité et la passion qu'ils manifestent. Seul Jane Eyre, de Charlotte, connaît aussitôt le succès. Mais Wuthering Heights (Les Hauts de Hurlevent) d'Emily, Agnes Grey puis The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (La Recluse de Wildfell Hall) d'Anne sont admis plus tard parmi les grandes oeuvres de la littérature.

Emily Brontë
Emily Jane Brontë (, commonly ; 30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848) was an English writer best known for her 1847 novel Wuthering Heights. She also co-authored a book of poetry with her sisters Charlotte and Anne entitled Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell.
Emily was the fifth of six Brontë siblings, four of whom survived into adulthood. Her mother, Maria Branwell, died when she was three, leaving the children in the care of their aunt, Elizabeth Branwell. Apart from brief intervals at school, Emily was mostly taught at home by her father, Patrick Brontë, who was the curate of Haworth. She was very close to her siblings, especially her younger sister Anne, and together they wrote books and journals depicting imaginary worlds named Glass Town, Angria and Gondal. She was described by her sister Charlotte as solitary, strong-willed and nonconforming, with a keen love of nature and animals.
Apart from a brief period at school, and another as a student and teacher in Brussels with her sister Charlotte, Emily spent most of her life at home in Haworth, helping the family servant with chores, playing the piano and teaching herself from books.
Her work was originally published under the pen name Ellis Bell. It was not generally admired at the time, and many critics felt that the characters in Wuthering Heights were coarse and immoral. In spite of this, the novel is considered a classic of English literature. Emily Brontë died in 1848, aged 30, a year after the novel's publication.
