I have always asked why Anne
Brontë was less known than her two older sisters Emily and Charlotte!
In her novels I felt how contemporary she can be as she
deals with class issues, arrogance and hypocrisy of
the aristocracy, gender inequality, domestic violence, alcoholism, as well
as creating strong female characters.
Anne Brontë , the British novelist and poet, the youngest member
of the Brontë literary family wrote a volume of poetry with
her sisters (Poems by Currer, Ellis, and
Acton Bell, 1846) and two novels. Agnes Grey,
based upon her experiences as a governess, and her second and last novel, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, is considered to be one of the first sustained
feminist novels,
appeared in 1848. Anne's life was cut short when she died of pulmonary tuberculosis at the age of 29.
