"I'm a big fan of Bronte, Austen and their contemporaries but had not heard of this until it was recommended to me. It was scandalous at the time in the way it portrayed, in detail, one man's descent into alcoholism and his abuse of his wife and child. His wife, the main character, decides to escape with her son, an almost unheard of undertaking in the days when divorce was generally not allowed and any woman attempting to leave her abusive husband was considered adulterous and shunned by society. Considered to be feminist literature, to me it's a story of a courageous woman who beats the odds and frees herself from the hell that her marriage became. It does have a happy ending, though it feels like a small recompense for all that happened. It had an important message then and an equally important message now for men and women everywhere." - Amazon Customer Reviews

  • Mô tả

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte is a powerful and sometimes violent novel of expectation, love, oppression, sin, religion and betrayal. It portrays the disintegration of the marriage of Helen Huntingdon, the mysterious tenant of the title, and her dissolute, alcoholic husband. Defying convention, Helen leaves her husband to protect their young son from his father's influence, and earns her own living as an artist. Whilst in hiding at Wildfell Hall, she encounters Gilbert Markham, who falls in love with her. On its first publication in 1848, Anne Brontë's second novel was criticised for being 'coarse' and 'brutal'. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall challenges the social conventions of the early nineteenth century in a strong defence of women's rights in the face of psychological abuse from their husbands. Anne Brontë's style is bold, naturalistic and passionate, and this novel, which her sister Charlotte considered 'an entire mistake', has earned her a position in English Literature in her own right.The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is a powerful and sometimes violent novel of expectation, love, oppression, sin, religion and betrayal.
