A beautiful edition of Anne Bronte's most enduring novel. Gilbert Markham is deeply intrigued by Helen Graham, a beautiful and secretive young woman who has moved into Wildfell Hall with her young son. He is quick to offer Helen his friendship, but when her reclusive behaviour becomes the subject of local gossip and speculation, Gilbert begins to wonder whether his trust in her has been misplaced. It is only when she allows Gilbert to read her diary that the truth is revealed and the shocking details of the disastrous marriage she has left behind emerge.
Told with great immediacy, combined with wit and irony, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is a powerful depiction of a woman's fight for domestic independence and creative freedom. The novel is edited with an introduction and notes by the novelist Stevie Davies.
First publlished with the pseudonim Acton Bell, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is Bronte's second novel.
