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. Anne Brontë was the author, and she saw review after review attacking her novel as too coarse. Crushing it further, her sister Charlotte wrote, 'at this I cannot wonder, the choice of subject was an entire mistake.' And yet in recent decades, this work by the youngest Brontë has taken its place alongside those of her sisters as one of the great novels in English, and perhaps the first feminist novel. Helen is beautiful, talented and eighteen when she meets, fall in love with and marries the handsome but dissolute Arthur Huntingdon against the advice of her family and friends. She soon discovers the real nature of her husband and finally is forced to abandon him to save herself and her child. She becomes the new tenant of Wildfell Hall. Everyone is thrilled to have someone new to talk about, but infuriated by the secrecy that surrounds her. Nasty rumours circulate. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is Anne's masterpiece, a wildly modern, daring, and provocative book, and one of the first feminist novels - attacking marriage laws, double standard of sexual morality and the education of men and women.The heart of this book is a portrait of a woman surviving and flourishing after abuse, and in that, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall feels unnervingly modern. It is fresh, shocking, and wholly new today, 200 years after the birth of its author. - VoxSo revolting are many of the scenes, so coarse and disgusting the language put into the mouths of some of the characters, that the reviewer to who we entrusted it to returned it to us ... our object here is to warn our readers, and more especially our lady readers, against being induced to peruse it. - Sharpe's London Magazine (1848)Anne might have been the most radical Brontë of all ... The Tenant of Wildfell Hall might be one of the first truly feminist novels. - VoxThanks to #MeToo, Anne Brontë's time is finally here - The Sydney Morning HeraldAnne's book was far more radical than anything her more famous sisters ever wrote - The TimesFiercely passionate. And wholly revolutionary - TelegraphAbout the authorAnne Brontë was born in 1820, the youngest of the Brontë family. Her father was curate of Haworth, Yorkshire, and her mother died when she was 20 months old. Anne was educated at home, and then attended boarding school between 1836 and 1837. Between 1839 and 1845, Anne worked as a governess, an experience that inspired her debut novel, Agnes Grey, first published in 1847 under the pseudonym Acton Bell. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, now considered Anne's masterpiece and one of the first feminist novels, appeared in 1848. It was an immediate success, but following Anne's death from tuberculosis in 1849, Charlotte suppressed subsequent printings. The novel did not appear again until 1854. She was the youngest of the Brontë sisters, whose extraordinary gifts are only now receiving just appraisal.

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.
