Anne Brontë

Anne Brontë was a novelist and poet born in 1820 in Thornton, Yorkshire. She was the eldest of the three Brontë sisters and is best known for her novel Agnes Grey. Anne's writing was heavily influenced by her experiences as a governess and her love of nature. She published her first novel in 1847, but it was not until after her death that her sister Charlotte's efforts helped to establish her reputation as a writer. Anne's poetry, including the poem featured in this episode, is characterized by its beauty and its exploration of themes such as love, nature, and mortality.
