By the publication date tragedy had all but destroyed the Brontë family. In Sept. 1848 Branwell died; Emily caught cold at his funeral and refusing all medical aid died of tuberculosis the following December. Anne whose Tenant of Wildfell Hall appeared in 1848 also died of tuberculosis in May 1849.
