The tenant of Wildfell Hall - Anne Bront

This volume completes the acclaimed Clarendon Edition of the Novels of the Bronts. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Anne Bront's second (and last) novel, was published in June 1848, less than a year before her death. It is the sombre account of the breakdown of a marriage in the face of alcoholism and infidelity. Writing with a power not usually associated with the youngest of the Bront sisters, Anne portrays the decline of an aristocratic husband whose drunkenexcesses and domestic violence force his loving wife into a reluctant rebellion.
