Description
The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is a powerful and sometimes violent novel of expectation, love, oppression, sin, religion, and betrayal. It tells the story of Helen Huntingdon, a woman who defies convention to protect her young son from her dissolute husband's influence. Living in hiding at Wildfell Hall, she meets Gilbert Markham, who falls in love with her. The novel, first published in 1848, was initially criticised for its bold and naturalistic style, which challenged the social conventions of the time. It is a strong defence of women's rights in the face of psychological abuse from their husbands. This revised edition is taken from a copy of the 1848 second edition and has been edited to correct known errors. Anne Brontë's writing style is passionate and bold, and this novel has earned her a place in English literature in her own right, not just as the youngest member of the Brontë family.
