The genesis of Agnes Grey was attributed by Edward Chitham to the reflections on life found in Anne's diary of 31 July 1845. [4]It is likely that Anne was the first of the Brontë sisters to write a work of prose for publication, [5] although Agnes Grey, Wuthering Heights, and Jane Eyre were all published within the same year: 1847.

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is the second and final novel written by English author Anne Brontë.It was first published in 1848 under the pseudonym Acton Bell. Probably the most shocking of the Brontës' novels, it had an instant and phenomenal success, but after Anne's death her sister Charlotte prevented its re-publication in England until 1854.
Anne and Emily were obliged to pay fifty pounds to help meet their publishing costs. Their publisher was galvanised by the success of Jane Eyre and published Wuthering Heights and Agnes Grey together in December 1847. [72] They sold well, but Agnes Grey was outshone by Emily's more dramatic Wuthering Heights. [73]
The title of the poem makes reference to two characters from Emily's imaginary childhood island of Gondal, a place which she invented and wrote short stories about along with her younger sister Anne. Gondal was a kingdom ruled by the powerful Queen, Augusta Almeda, to whom the poem is written, from another character, Fernando De Samara.
Anne Brontë "Lines Composed in a Wood on a Windy Day" is a poem by Anne Brontë, the youngest of the three Brontë sisters. It was first published in the collection Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell (1846). Though it shows some signs of hasty composition the critic Winifred Gérin considered it probably Anne Brontë's finest poem.
The poem appears to be a Gondal poem from the writing style, but there is nothing in the poem to confirm this theory. The narrator is an anonymous woman. There is no known character by the name of Edward in the Gondal Saga, and the one vague reference to "Arden's lake" is unhelpful because it is not a known place in either the Gondal world or the Glass Town Confederacy.
Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide."
