Born on the 17th of January 1820, Anne Bronte was one of six children and the youngest of the Bronte sisters. Her first novel, Agnes Grey, was inspired by five years spent working as a governess, and proved itself a commercial success. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Anne's second and final novel, was published the following summer in 1848. Anne died shortly after, on the 28th of May 1849, while convalescing from tuberculosis at Scarborough.
