-- By Anne Brontë --
Anne Brontë was born January 17, 1820 to Maria Branwell and Patrick Brontë. The youngest member of the Brontë family, Anne and her sisters Charlotte and Emily all achieved great literary success in both novels and poetry during their lifetimes.
Anne Brontë is most well known for her novel: Wuthering Heights. The book was her second publication and released in December 1847, the same month as her first novel Agnes Grey. Anne used a number of pseudonyms in publication including Acton Bell and Ellis Bell.
Tragically, none of the 6 Brontë children made it past the age of 38. The father Patrick Brontë outlived all his children and died in June 1777. Although their time on Earth was short the children of Patrick Brontë have had an impact on Literature that continues for centuries. Anne Brontë's grave can be visited at the churchyard of St. Mary's Church in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England.
