When Anne’s older sister Charlotte became a teacher at the Roe Head School, Anne attended as a pupil after Emily was deemed too delicate to be away from home. They became all-consuming and involved writing newspaper articles and poetry based in the fictional kingdoms. These worlds however extended well beyond ordinary childhood games. Anne and her siblings invented fantasy worlds and kingdoms for their imaginative play.

Her aunt was a stern, severe woman who cared more about children’s obedience than love and affection. Anne was primarily raised by her mother’s sister, Elizabeth Branwell. And when she was barely a year old, Anne’s mother died. They moved to the small Yorkshire town of Haworth when Anne was just a few months old. Anne was the youngest of their six children. Her mother, Maria, came from a wealthy family, but married Patrick because of their similar religious convictions. Her father Patrick, a poor Irish clergyman, was a curate there. (Brontë family tragedies consumed her later life, too…but we’ll get to that in a few minutes.) She was born January 17, 1820, in Bradford, England.
Who was Anne Brontë? And how did she become the forgotten Brontë sister? Anne’s Early Lifeīrontë family tragedies consumed Anne’s early childhood. But soon after her death she became dismissed as the least talented of the three sisters and forgotten by history. Her novels were well-reviewed by critics and popular with readers during her time. And despite a lack of recognition, many consider Anne’s second novel The Tenant of Wildfell Hall to be the first feminist novel. Many consider her novel Agnes Grey to have been an inspiration for her sister’s novel Jane Eyre. In fact, she is likely the sister who began writing novels first.
The way history remembers her, Anne is basically Peggy from the musical Hamilton. But Anne published novels alongside her sisters. Anne Brontë is best known as the third sister of Charlotte Brontë, who wrote Jane Eyre, and Emily Brontë, who wrote Wuthering Heights.
