About this author

Anne Brontë was a British novelist and poet, the youngest member of the Brontë literary family. Anne's two novels, written in a sharp and ironic style, are completely different from the romanticism followed by her sisters, Emily Brontë and Charlotte Brontë. She wrote in a realistic, rather than a romantic style. Her novels, like those of her sisters, have become classics of English literature.

“But he who dares not grasp the thorn
Should never crave the rose.”
Anne Brontë

“I love the silent hour of night, for blissful dreams may then arise, revealing to my charmed sight what may not bless my waking eyes.”
Anne Brontë, Best Poems of the Brontë Sisters

“But smiles and tears are so alike with me, they are neither of them confined to any particular feelings: I often cry when I am happy, and smile when I am sad.”
Anne Brontë, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall
