The Tenant of Wildfell Hall

Formats & Editions

In The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Anne Bronte chronicles the disillusionment, heartbreak, and final devastation of an intelligent woman who falls in love with a rake. She flees her disastrous marriage and sets up as a professional artist a highly unusual and daring step for a woman of her time. Bronte s message remains relevant in a time when the dangerous lover not unlike the dark and mesmerizing Heathcliff and Rochester respectively of Emily Bronte s Wuthering Heights and Charlotte Bronte s Jane Eyre still lurks in romance narratives, and the belief in the beautiful illusion of saving the lost soul through love retains its seductive power.
