The tenant of wildfell hall novelist6/10/2023 She wanted to be loved and married, with her own children. Anne was close to her Wesleyan aunt, who encouraged her religious feeing as well as her right to be a woman, equal in status to men, but not a pseudo-male. Her writing style was her own, and her novels stand out as unique literary achievements. Edward Chitham shows that she was in several ways very different. In 1846 she published a book of poems with her sisters. She had five siblings. She lived most of her life with her family at Haworth on the Yorkshire moors. Anne was the daughter of Patrick Brontë, a poor Irish clergyman in the Church of England. There she tackled fundamental problems, notably the role and place of women in Victorian society. She published her two world-famed novels, initially under the pen name Acton Bell: Agnes Grey (1847), and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (1848), one of the first feminist novels. In this landmark new biography, the leading critic Edward Chitham offers a contemporary account of the life and work of the English novelist and poet Anne Brontë (1820-49), the youngest member of the Brontë literary family.
