The Tenant of Wildfell Hall
The most shocking of the Brontës' novels, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall had an instant success. Today, most critics consider it to be one of the first feminist novels. In leaving her husband and taking away their child, Helen violates not only social conventions, but also the 19th century English law. The novel is about a mysterious young widow, calling herself Helen Graham, who arrives at Wildfell Hall with her young son and a servant. Contrary to the early 19th century norms, she pursues an artist's career and makes an income by selling her work. Her strict seclusion soon gives rise to gossip in the neighboring village.

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.
