Anne Bronte (1820-1849) was born in Thornton, Yorkshire in England. She was the youngest of six children of the famous Bronte family. Apart from her name she is principally remembered for her novel 'The Tenant of Wildfell Hall' which was published in 1848. Tragically, she fell ill with tuberculosis after the appearance of the book and died on the following May in 1849 at Scarborough, where she was buried. As it was just at this period that Anne really started to mature as a writer; illness undoubtedly robbed future generations of some great literature.
