Anne Brontë

Anne Brontë (1820-1849) was an English novelist and poet, and the youngest of the Brontë sisters. Though often overshadowed by Charlotte and Emily Brontë, Anne's work is distinguished by its moral seriousness and realism. Her novels, including Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, address social issues such as education, marriage, and the position of women with unusual candour for their time. Today she is increasingly recognised as a significant voice in nineteenth-century literature, particularly for her early exploration of themes central to later feminist writing.
