Goodreads Quote of the Day for Tuesday
Reading is my favourite occupation, when I have leisure for it and books to read.
The youngest of the Brontë literary family, Anne Brontë was born on January 17, 1820. As well as poetry, she wrote two novels: Agnes Grey, based on her experiences as a governess, and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, which was considered scandalous at the time for its depiction of a woman who leaves her drunken, abusive husband. Anne’s books, written in a straightforward, naturalistic style, contrast with the romanticism of those by her sisters, Emily and Charlotte Brontë, but both became classics. Anne died in 1849 at the age of 29.
