ANNE BRONTË
The forgotten Brontë sister, overshadowed by her older siblings - virtuous, successful Charlotte, free-spirited Emily and dissolute Branwell. Tragic, virginal, sweet, stoic, selfless Anne. The less talented Brontë, the other Brontë. Or so life-long Emily and Wuthering Heights devotee Samantha Ellis thought until she began looking more closely at Emily and Charlotte and instead found herself confronted by Anne.
Take Courage is Samantha Ellis’s personal and surprising journey
into the life and work of a woman sidelined by history. A brave,
strongly feminist writer well ahead of her time who has much to teach us today about how to find our way in the world.
Take Courage by Samantha Ellis is published alongside beautiful new Vintage Classics editions of Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.
Our new Vintage Classics editions were illustrated by Júlia Sardà and you can see more of her work here.
