Anne Brontë
There were three Brontë sisters of which the youngest was little Anne Brontë who was born on January 17th 1820 and later died on May 28th 1849. The Brontë family grew up in a remote village known as Haworth which lies on the moors of Yorkshire. Their father was an Irish clergyman who had a position in the Church of England.
Although she was the youngest of the three sisters, Anne would often overshadow her sisters with her poetry. After attending a boarding school until she was 19 years old, Anne Brontë left Haworth for good and set out on her own to make a name for herself from her writings. With the assistance of her three older sisters, Anne was able to write a book of poems and have them published by 1846. After the completion of the poem book, Anne Brontë went on to write two novels entitled Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and she was able to have a book published every year between 1846 and 1848.
Although only having created three books, Anne Brontë is well remembered for her contribution to the Victorian Era novelists. Anne died at the age of 29 due to pulmonary tuberculosis.
