Publisher's Synopsis
The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is a classic novel written by Acton Bell (a pseudonym for Anne Bronte) and published in 1859. The story is set in the mid-19th century and follows the life of a young widow named Helen Graham, who moves to Wildfell Hall with her young son in order to escape a troubled past. The novel is divided into three parts, each narrated by a different character. The first part is written by a gentleman named Gilbert Markham, who falls in love with Helen despite her mysterious and guarded nature. As the story unfolds, Gilbert learns about Helen's past and the reasons for her reluctance to open up to him. The second part of the novel is written in the form of a diary kept by Helen, which reveals the full extent of the abuse and mistreatment she endured from her alcoholic husband. The third and final part of the novel is narrated by Gilbert once again, as he attempts to help Helen rebuild her life and regain her independence. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that explores themes of love, forgiveness, and the struggle for personal freedom in a society that often denies it to women.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
