On this day, July 30, in 1818, Emily Brontë was born in the village of Thornton, West Riding of Yorkshire, England. The middle child of the three literary Brontë sisters, Emily was extremely shy and had very few friends or acquaintances beyond her family, often leaving the household only to go to church or to take walks in the surrounding countryside. Her only novel was Wuthering Heights, a surprisingly passionate book to have been written by such a shy and retiring soul. She never was able to realize the success of her book, for she died of tuberculosis a year after its publication, at age 30.
