The youngest of the well-known Bront siblings, Anne Bront
(1820-1849) grew up drawing and writing poetry in secret. As a
child, Anne spent countless hours on the Yorkshire moors with her
sister, Emily, creating an imaginary world called Gondal. Anne
attended school at age fifteen, and there she experienced an
episode of spiritual crisis, which is evidenced in many of her
poems. She later worked as a governess before collaborating with
her sisters, Emily and Charlotte, on a collection of poetry in
1846. The sisters used pen names to publish their work - Anne wrote
as Acton Bell - to avoid unfair judgment as women writers. Although
the collection sold poorly, Anne found a market for her own poetry,
and was published in Fraser's Magazine. Unfortunately, her deeply
insightful collection of work was cut short by an early death, and
is therefore often overshadowed by that of her sisters.
