New edition with the same ISBN, but another cover Note: Editions of The Tenant that start with: "You must go back with me..." are incomplete. Actual opening line of the novel is: "To J. Halford, Esq. Dear Halford, when we were together last..."Anne Bronte's second novel is a passionate and courageous challenge to the conventions supposedly upheld by Victorian society and reflected in circulating-library fiction. The heroine, Helen Huntingdon, after a short period of initial happiness, leaves her dissolute husband, and must earn her own living to rescue her son from his influence. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is compelling in its imaginative power, the realism and range of its dialogue, and its psychological insight into the characters involved in a marital battle.

More About The Tenant of Wildfell Hall
To regret the exchange of earthly pleasures for the joys of Heaven, is as if the grovelling caterpillar should lament that it must one day quit the nibbled leaf to soar aloft and flutter through the air, roving at will from flower to flower, sipping sweet honey from their cups, or basking in their sunny petals.

Anne Bront, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall // if I hate the sins, I love the sinner, and would do much for his salvation Anne Bront, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall // I am satisfied that if a book is a good one, it is so whatever the sex of the author may be.

Anne Bront, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall //
A gothic Austen.It has been many years since I had read this and my rating remains unchanged at three stars because while there are parts I enjoyed a great deal and some lovely insights into women's lives there is a tremendous amount of liturgy and forbearance espoused, which I find to be quite chaffing. So, in the end this reads much... I felt, reading The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, as if I was watching a black-and-white silent movie. There was the same sense of expressions and gestures exaggerated, made larger than life. Emotions were felt ten-fold. Characters are never just sad, they must be sullenly despondent; they are never just in love, but passionate, painfully... 3.5 starsThere were several things I liked about this book. I enjoyed the first section, narrated by Gilbert, that was a bit of a comedy of manners with some humorous touches. I enjoyed the feminist slant, with Helen being a strong character whose actions and words and views on a woman's place were way ahead of her time. I admired the...
