Like far too many creative souls who came before and after her, British writer Emily Brontë was taken from us far too soon. Dying on Dec. 19, 1848, of tuberculosis at the age of 30, she passed away without having any idea of the monumental impact that her only finished novel, “Wuthering Heights” (“WH”), would have on society and not only English but also world literature.
