Notes
Biographical/historical: Anne Brontë (born 1820 in Thornton, England) was an English writer and poet best known for the novels Agnes Grey (1847) and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (1848). She was the youngest sibling of the English writers Charlotte, Emily, and Patrick Branwell Brontë. Brontë was educated at home and at Roe Head School and worked as a governess. In 1846, Brontë published twenty-one poems in the poetry collection, Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell under the pseudonym, Acton Bell. Her first novel, Agnes Grey (1847), was published in conjunction with her sister Emily's novel, Wuthering Heights (1847). In 1848, Brontë became ill shortly after publishing her second novel, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (1848). She died in 1849 in Scarborough, England.
