The Tenant of Wildfell Hall: The First Feminist Novel

Buch

Bold ... shocking. - The New York TimesAnne might have been the most radical Brontë of all ... The Tenant of Wildfell Hall might be one of the first truly feminist novels. - VoxThe title of 'the first feminist novel' has been awarded to other books, perhaps with less justice. - The GuardianWhen The Tenant of Wildfell Hall was published in 1848, critics condemned its portrayal of male violence and alcoholic abuse, recommending that no woman should read it.

Über den Autor


Anne Bronte, who was born in 1820, was brought up in the Yorkshire village of Haworth where her father was curate. She was educated at home and, as a child, she invented with her sister Emily the imaginary world of Gondal, fo which she wrote copious chronicles and poems. She held two positions as governess, with the Ginghams at Black Hall and, from 1840-45, with the Robinson family at Thorp Green. As a religious lyric poet, Anne Bronte's hymns and lyrics rang with this of Cowper. Her first novel Agney Grey (1847), published under the pseudonym Acton Bell, is in the tradition of fictional spiritual autobiography, written with conciseness, integrity and irony. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (1848) is a powerful feminist testament, attacking marriage laws, double standard of sexual morality and the education of men and women. Anne Bronte died at Scarborough in 1849. She was the youngest of the Bronte sisters, who extraordinary gifts are only now receiving just appraisal.
