English author Emily Brontë published one novel, the Gothic classic Wuthering Heights (1847), the work for which she is best known. It was published under the pseudonym Ellis Bell. Brontë chose a masculine pen name so that her work would not be judged solely on the basis of her gender. With her sisters Charlotte and Anne Brontë, she self-published one collection of verse, Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell (1846). Like Emily, Charlotte and Anne also wrote under masculine pseudonyms that matched the initials of their real names.
