Four years later, her father enrolled her and Charlotte in a private school in Brussels, in the hope that they would establish their own school. In 1838, she got a job as a teacher in Halifax, at Law Hill School, which she hated and quit within six months and returned home. For a girl that was a low ranking clergyman’s daughter, the only viable career path was to become a teacher or governess. It was during this period that they would produce a magazine featuring their poems and stories about their fantasylands. Back home, and with unfettered access to their father’s library, Emily and her siblings took the time to read and study, which made them quite good writers.
The following year, Elizabeth and Maria, the eldest of the Bronte sisters fell severely ill and died, resulting in their father withdrawing Emily, Ann and Charlotte from the school. In 1824, Emily and her sisters were enrolled as students at the Clergy Daughter’s School in Cowan Bridge. There is not much of Emily’s work from this period that can be found, save for a few character spoken poems that include, Fannie Ratchford and The Brontes’ Web of Childhood. After their mother passed on, the three sisters used literature to escape from the loneliness by inventing fantasylands they named Oceania, Gaaldine, Gondal, and Angria, the setting for most of their narratives. It was in Haworth that Emily’s and her sister’s literary talents flourished. When she was 6 years old, the Bronte family relocated to Haworth where her father had taken up a position as the incumbent curate. Emily Bronte was born to Maria Branwell and Patrick Bronte in Thornton near Bradford, Yorkshire in 1818. She was older than Anne Bronte and younger than Charlotte Bronte. She was the fifth sibling of the popular Bronte family of writers that include Charlotte, and Anne Bronte. Emily Bronte was an English author best known for the literary classic, Wuthering Heights.
