Anne Brontë is the sister who still stands in the shadow of Charlotte and Emily. She deserves more than that neglected state dictates and this book brings her to the fore. It examines her life in the context of the Victorian times in which she lived and the role it played in her suppression.
It also brings into prominence the role of Scarborough in her working life, her health and her writing. Its importance cannot be underestimated, not least when it was the place she chose to die after battling an illness for which there was no cure.
Anne led the way as a pioneering writer of the feminist novel but suffered the consequences when society, and her own sister, were not ready. Now we are ready and will speak out in support until her genius is fully recognised.
Anne Brontë died too young, at twenty-nine years of age, when she still had much good to
do in the world.
