This edition includes: Agnes Grey The Tenant of Wildfell Hall The Collected Poems of Anne Brontë Anne Brontë (1820-1849) was a British poet and novelist who wrote under the pen name Acton Bell. She was the youngest of the three Brontë sisters, who were all writers and poets. Anne's works include the novel Agnes Grey and the poetry collections Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell. Anne was born in Thornton, Yorkshire, England and was the youngest of six children. Her mother died when Anne was just a young child, and her father died a few years later. This left the Brontë siblings—Charlotte, Emily, and Anne—orphaned at a young age and living with their aunt, Elizabeth Branwell. Anne's writing career began when she and her sisters published a joint collection of poetry in 1846 under the pseudonyms Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell. While Charlotte and Emily wrote novels, Anne wrote a semi-autobiographical novel, Agnes Grey (1847), which recounts the trials of a governess. Anne also wrote several poems, including "The Bluebell," "The Linnet," and "The Narrow Way," which were published posthumously in 1851 in Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell. Anne's works are known for their realism and sensitive portrayals of the lives of governesses, as well as their themes of religious faith and psychological insight. Her works are considered to be some of the earliest examples of feminist literature. Anne died of tuberculosis in 1849 at the age of 29. She is remembered as one of the most important British writers of the 19th century.
