Fille de pasteur anglican, Emily Brontë (1818-1848) est une poétesse et romancière britannique. Elle passe sa jeunesse au presbytère avec son frère et ses deux soeurs, Anne et Charlotte. Les trois soeurs publient ensemble un recueil de poèmes avant d'écrire chacune des romans. Wuthering Heights (Les Hauts de Hurlevent), l'unique roman d'Emily, est considéré comme un chef-d'oeuvre de la littérature anglaise.
After graduating in 1917 she lived in Greenwich Village in New York for a few years, acting, writing satirical pieces for journals (usually under a pseudonym), and continuing to work at her poetry. She traveled in Europe throughout 1921-22 as a "foreign correspondent" for Vanity Fair. Her collection A Few Figs from Thistles (1920) gained her a reputation for hedonistic wit and cynicism, but her other collections (including the earlier Renascence and Other Poems [1917]) are without exception more seriously passionate or reflective.
In 1923 she married Eugene Boissevain and -- after further travel -- embarked on a series of reading tours which helped to consolidate her nationwide renown. From 1925 onwards she lived at Steepletop, a farmstead in Austerlitz, New York, where her husband protected her from all responsibilities except her creative work. Often involved in feminist or political causes (including the Sacco-Vanzetti case of 1927), she turned to writing anti-fascist propaganda poetry in 1940 and further damaged a reputation already in decline. In her last years of her life she became more withdrawn and isolated, and her health, which had never been robust, became increasingly poor.
She died in 1950.
