Biography
A
Anne Brontë (January 17, 1820 – May 28, 1849)
was a British author, one of a trio of famous Brontë sisters who
wrote acclaimed Victorian romantic novels of manners and society.
She was born in the village of Thornton, Yorkshire, England.
Anne's mother died a year later, after the family had moved to
Haworth where her father was perpetual curate. Two of her sisters,
Charlotte and Emily, were also authors and poets. Anne's poetry was
published, along with that of her sisters, in 1846, under the
pseudonym "Acton Bell".
Her novels are:
* Agnes Grey, published 1847
* The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, published 1848
Anne died at the seaside resort of Scarborough, England, which was
also the setting for both of her novels. She was buried at Saint
Mary's Churchyard, Scarborough. She had been in Scarborough for
only a few days, having been sent there in the hope of curing her
tuberculosis — an illness from which her brother, Branwell, and
three of her sisters had already died.
