    About this ebook

    The novel of love, betrayal, and a woman’s longing for independence universally acclaimed as Anne Brontë’s greatest work.

    When the widow Helen Graham arrives at Wildfell Hall with her young son, Gilbert Markham is intrigued by her beauty and mystery. But as scandalous rumors begin to circulate, Gilbert fears his affection may be misplaced. So that he can know the truth about her, Helen gives Gilbert her diary. From it, he learns that Helen Graham is no widow at all, but a woman named Helen Huntington, who has fled from her cruel and debauched husband in order to protect her son.
     
    First published in 1848 under the pseudonym Acton Bell, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall was both a popular phenomenon and a bold challenge to Victorian morals. Its sympathetic portrayal of a woman who chooses to leave her husband—an act that violated English law—made it one of the first feminist novels in the English language.

      (Original Review, 1981-02-04)“The Tenant of Wildfell Hall” has received a lot of scholarly attention more recently, it has various depths beyond the exploration of domestic violence. She was partly not appreciated because her sister openly and strongly disagreed with the subject matter of the novel and prevented republication after Anne's death which left the novel behind somewhat.Anne's work tends much more towards social realism than Charlotte or Emily, which also possibly turned Charlotte (a critic of Austen) against the novel. Everyone has their own opinion, I would personally say that it's not a 'how-to guide to perfect relationships' at all, it explores numerous topics such as class structure, art, hunting, religious hypocrisy etc., and the use of the diary form is clever in presenting the issues within upper class domestic spheres.Having said that, I just don't get it. I think without Emily and Charlotte, Anne wouldn't be read at all now. I find her characters one-sided and little more than stand-ins for positions in Victorian morality. Helen is good because she loves God and self-sacrifices. The alcoholic one obviously drinks himself to death. Whenever he came into the story I imagined a plinky plonky piano playing over a sepia silent film with captions about the evils of drink; Helen and her hideous drippy religious friends swooning in the background. I just don't get how you can compare that to the anguish and drama of Wuthering Heights or any of the Charlotte novels.

      Weird book. It starts with the narrator meeting the mysterious widow, the Tenant of Wildfell Hall, but a quarter of the way through the book it becomes a flashback in the form of the widow’s diary where we learn her history. I kept waiting for the ‘flashback’ to end and get back to the ‘real’ story, but the diary went on and on. I got quite impatient. I eventually flicked ahead to check, and found that the diary takes a very substantial portion - around half the book. I had been in the wrong mindset, it was as much the real story as the ‘present day’ parts. Anyway, it was an ok story. As much drama as romance. Didn’t love it as I do the Austen novels or Jane Eyre. I didn’t like the narrator/romantic lead much, he is an overexcited puppy.

      Charlotte had this pulled from publication after Anne's death. There is speculation it is because the portrayal of the alcoholism and debauchery of the husband hit too close to home; that it shared with people the truth about their brother.Reading it now it seems strange that when this came out it was considered the most shocking of contemporary Victorian novels.Leaving her alcoholic, unfaithful husband was a very shocking act in a time when a married woman had no rights. She had no right to leave, no rights to her own child or her own income.
    • 4/5
      On the Bronte scale I'd say this is better than Wuthering Heights but not as good as Jane Eyre. I loved the strong female role. Which is strange as I didn't agree with the choices she made in the later stages of the book, and her piety made me want to slap her. Still, time and context play a part, and she was very brave with how she chose to live her life. I just wish the story hadn't been told from the male perspective. But it was a good book with some nice twists, and a lot of the insights still apply today.
    • 5/5
      I loved this feminist classic about a mysterious stranger, who proves her strength by dealing with local gossip and revealing the secrets of her past. It might even be a new favorite.
    • 4/5
      Set in Victorian England, this is the story, told through a series of letters (and then diary entries within letters) of a woman who marries for what she thinks is love but when she discovers that her husband is more than a bit of a cad, she escapes to (she thinks) a secluded life in her old family hall with her young son. She then, of course, meets Mr. Right, and then ensues much hand-wringing and tear-shedding because she won't be unfaithful to her wretched husband.There isn't one male character in this whole business who isn't at least marginally repugnant (which is, I'm certain, a big part of the point), but then, to be honest, I found Helen and her fanatical religious devotion to be fairly intolerable as well. And the whole "Oh, how I love you, oh, but we simply mustn't" schtick gets tiresome so very quickly. So, yeah, not my favorite thing ever.
    • 4/5
      I've never read anything by Anne Bronte, and was surprised at how bold and modern in its views of women' rights are for a book that was published in 1848. The book is told through a series of letters between Gilbert Markham to his brother-in-law about the events surrounding the meeting of his wife.Helen Graham and her young son and servant arrive at Wildfell Hall, which has been vacant for many years where she lives in seclusion. Because of her secrecy she becomes the subject of local malicious gosip. Gilbert, however, refuses to believe any of the stories about her. Her befriends her and soon discovers her true story. Helen, who is from an upper class family has left her abusive, alcoholic husband hoping to save her son from his unhealthy influence. The depiction of her dissolute husband, her marital strife and her argument fof women's independence are extremely advanced for Victorian England and reflect the author's belief in both women's rights and universal salvation. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is now considered to be one of the first feminist novels published.
    • 3/5
      I'm going to try to be blunt about this: This is not my favorite classic. The Bronte sisters took the publishing world by storm in their time--almost unheard of for any woman of their time. I've read "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte, and I wasn't really in love with it. I was hoping to have more positive feelings towards "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall." Unfortunately, I did not fall in love with this book either. It's not cold, like most classics, but it is a bit darker, it's sadder, and more sullen that I'd like it to be.

      A woman trapped in a loveless marriage is bound to be a sad book. She deserves so much and asks for so little in return and the husband is a fool and a moron to ignore her and neglect her for as long as he did. She finally leaves him. (And I secretly applaud her because I just don't like to see good wives stuck with jerks.) And when he gets sick and ends up on his deathbed, what happens? She goes back to him to nurse him. I thought she was crazy!!!

      I'm satisfied with the ending, but I will admit that the writing style does nothing for me. I want to feel connected with the characters and feel drawn into their world. I just read the book and didn't feel much of anything. So while I admire the Bronte sisters for paving the way for other aspiring female writers, I wish their writing styles mirrored Jane Austen.

      I have mixed emotions about this book. This is really my favorite time period and genre of book, but there is just something missing here, or perhaps too much moralizing and sermonizing. The story is told in epistolary form by Gilbert Markham, the love struck, unlucky suitor of Helen Graham, who when the story begins has run away from her abusive husband and is in "hiding" with her 5 year son. The town gives her a hard time because she is not one of their own and has a mysterious past. She returns to her husband to nurse him unto his death. In the end Gilbert and Helen reconcile. A good portion of the book centers around the debate of what is moral and righteous; which isn't bad, but ad nauseum makes the book a bit droll.
    • 3/5
      WHAT I DISLIKED: This book was ridiculously over-long. My edition was 487 oversized pages, which doesn't sound that bad really. However, too many of these pages were completely unnecessary. The actual story, which took up the middle of the book was framed with a 96 page (sixteen chapters!) introduction and a 76 page conclusion. Everything that happened in these 172 pages could have been considerably condensed. The events of the first section could easily be told in one paragraph. Okay, to add a little suspense, Bronte should have made it one short chapter. The concluding frame was a little more important to the story, but again could be told in one chapter. As for the middle section, it also could have been trimmed. Bronte really likes to use a lot of words. She uses a lot of words to describe every.single.detail of what is going on in a character's mind, and what they think is going on in the other characters' minds. There is also a lot of moralizing and 19th century social commentary. For pages and pages and pages and pages. Near the end, Gilbert apologizes for his "melancholy musings." Sorry, too late. I already hate you. WHAT I LIKED: There is probably about a hundred pages of this novel that I just love and think are brilliant. The protagonist, Helen, is a courageous proto-feminist who stands up to her abusive alcoholic husband in an era when that just wasn't done. And the 150-odd pages of actual story were very interesting. I also think that Anne's main characters were much more realistic than her sisters'. In particular, her ability to write male characters far surpasses Emily and Charlotte's. These men actually have conversations, and can speak to a woman without going into diatribes and sermons, like every male character in Jane Eyre. Sure, Huntington is a tyrannical reprobate, but he's not an evil psychopath like Heathcliff. And when the going gets tough, Helen forms a plan just like an real adult. She doesn't have a hissy fit and will herself to die (Cathy, Wuthering Heights) or run away, immediately lose all her money and then wander the moors (the heroine in Jane Eyre). In the end I like both Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre better than The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, but the one thing I can say in Anne's defense is that her main character is a grown up. Just for fun, I'd like to see this story retold from Huntington's point of view. Yes, he was vile--I mean, what sort of father gets his four-year old son drunk and teaches him to swear? But still, I think from his wing-back in front of the hearth, Helen would look like a humorless stick-in-the-mud. He was no angel, but considering he was met with her dour, judgmental face at breakfast every morning, its no wonder he escaped to London for months at a time.Recommended for: Fans of 19th century British literature. I also think that anyone who has enjoyed the other Brontes should give this one a try too.

      There's a nice edition on the internet. Stanford University Press. With an introduction by Mrs. Humphry Ward, granddaughter of Dr. Arnold of Rugby and niece of the poet & scholar, et cetera, Matthew Arnold.To the novel. Part One. Gilbert Markham narrates a great domestic mix-up, during which he knocks his rival off his horse and generally makes a shambles of his attempted romance with Helen Graham of Wildfell Hall. He gets jilted for his efforts.Part Two. Helen's diaries. She ends up marrying a blighter with less character than Felix Carbury, if that is possible. It's a disaster as husband Arthur and his cronies are every bit as riotous as King Lear and his men. Remember when Lear foolishly divided up his Kingdom and put his own security in jeopardy. He is a plague on Helen's house. She tries to flee but he prevents her. So far, so bad.Part Three. Arthur dies hard. Helen is now wealthy. Gilbert comes back, fearing Helen is somewhat out of his reach. He tiptoes around looking like a sheep with a secret sorrow. Not to worry. They get together in the end and make a good Dickensian home for little Arthur.

      I saw the BBC adaptation of this book about 6 months ago, so I think some of my excitement for the book may be diminished. I did like the book, I just think I would have liked it more if I had not known the ending. The only thing that irritated me a bit was Helen's piousness. It was a smidge over the top. I was hoping it wasn't something that the writer did just to prove she knows a lot of bible verses. I think the Bronte's father was a clergyman and a strict one at that, so it is all forgivable I suppose.The book is very well written. I think Anne may be my favorite writer of the three sisters. Oh wait, I have not read Wuthering Heights, so I like Anne better than Charlotte at least.

      There is a new tenant at Wildfell Hall; a lone woman with a small child. She keeps to herself and won't tell her neighbors about her past life, which causes them to become suspicious and to start rumors. The gentleman farmer living closest to the lady falls in love with her and tries to defend her. When he starts to believe the gossip, she gives him her journal and her sorted past life is revealed.This was a disappointing book. The writing was excellent, but it just wasn't the book for me. I understand that standards of morality were different in Victorian times and I am sure the book was scandalous when it was first printed, but it didn't seem too terrible to me. Helen's husband was a sadistic, self indulgent idiot and he made their life together unbearable, but she endured it for the sake of propriety until his actions threatened their small child. The story was very slow paced and had no excitement, it was just a soap opera about a bad marriage.
    • 5/5
      I read this book again recently after a gap of about 10 years and could not believe how good it is. I remembered it as dull and unoriginal, I was astonished and delighted to discover it was passionate, modern, brave, beautifully written and dominated by the powerfully touching character of Helen Huntingdon, now one of my favourite fictional heroines. The plot captivated me from the beginning and I couldn't put the book down. I'm a huge fan of the Bronte sisters but always used to favour Charlotte and Emily; now I give Anne her rightful place at her sisters' side.
    • 5/5
      I read this during a trip to Yorkshire when I accidentally ended up in Haworth for a weekend. First I re-read Wuthering Heights, just in case I was wrong about it (I wasn't). I wasn't going to bother giving Jane Eyre another chance, I've tried four times and hated it more each one. But despite my hatred for Emily and Charlotte, Anne Bronte, she is fabulous. Admittedly, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is quite derivative of Sir Walter Scott, with it's strong female heroine, and somewhat standard gothic plot, but I don't think it suffers for it- it has a cracking narrative, characters you'd want to invite to one of those "if you could invite any five people to dinner who would it be" dinners, and so much emotion! I just can't help wondering why it is that Anne is the forgotten Bronte sister, while those other two hacks regularly top best books polls.
    • 5/5
      Probably my second favorite book written by the Bronte sisters (Jane Eyre by Charlotte was just a tad better, IMO). This dealt with a then controversial subject regarding should a wife stay with an abusive husband. It begins from the male perspective - that of the young man that falls in love with the mysterious "widow" that recently moved into Wildfell Hall. When rumors begin to circulate that perhaps the widow is a fallen woman, he quickly rises to her defense. In so doing, she reveals to him her true tale. This is done through the reading of her journal (she gives it to him to read) and therefore the story changes to her perspective for most of the remainder of the book. Although a long book, I did not find it to drag at all. Once I was able to devote time to reading, I really got wrapped up in the story and was riveted to it. Although dealing with a serious subject, I did not find it dark, dreary and depressing, like "Wuthering Heights", nor was it boring, like "Villette". I did not find that it dragged at all (and even Jane Eyre did that in places). I highly recommend this book to those that like the classics. I'm looking forward now to watching the movie!
    • 5/5
      This book is called the first women's liberation novel - and I really enjoyed the strong heroine. What more can I say? This book is a classic and I enjoyed it as much as I enjoy all the books by the Brontes and Jane Austen!
    • 4/5
      Great semi romance novel. Early hints of feminism and female individualism. Interestly written from several points of view. Overall romantic novel but great inserts of social issues, women issues and love and life.
    • 5/5
      Amazing book. Found it more absorbing than the other Bronte sisters.
    • 4/5
      Rather didactic in parts, but interesting for those Austen fans who might have wondered what Elizabeth Bennet's life would have been like if she had married George Wickham. The heroine here marries an equally plausible (though richer) scoundrel, and bitterly rues it. There are a few unbelievable aspects --she hides from her evil husband in her own old family home. where a) he is unable to find her despite a frantic search b) she is so totally unknown that her brother is slanderously alleged to be her lover. Both appear unlikely if she had grown up in the neighborhood.
    • 5/5
      Earlier this year, I read Juliet Barker's excellent biography "The Brontes," in which she says something to the effect that Anne's death was particularly tragic because she was perhaps the most promising writer of the three sisters. I was surprised to read this and realized that she was the only Bronte sister whose work was completely unfamiliar to me.I rectified that by reading "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall" and I have to say I agree with Barkers' assessment... this is definitely my favorite of all the Bronte works I've read so far. (And for me, that's saying something.... as "Jane Eyre" is easily my most read book... I just adore it.) "Wildfell Hall" is an epistolary novel, with the narrator telling the story of a mysterious widow, Helen Graham, who shows up in the countryside. Her arrival, standoffishness and close attachment to her son Arthur leads to some rumors going around the countryside, which the narrator can scarcely believe since he is pretty clearly falling in love with Mrs. Graham.The book is incredibly well-written and the characters much more well-rounded than is typical for a Bronte book. I honestly had trouble putting it down. It's particularly interesting to read about the characters that battle with alcoholism and adultery, given Anne's brother Branwell's predilections.
    • 5/5
      This is a little known book by the little known Bronte sister, Anne. It is also one of my personal favorites. Written in the epistolary style, it is the tale of Gilbert Markham, the girl he falls in love with, and her story.
    • 5/5
      This is a wonderful book and a prime example of Victorian literature. I loved every word, and though the ending was predictable, it was extremely well done. The novel's significance definitely lies in the way that Anne Bronte describes the position of women in society; she revealed far more than the ordinary novelist would have. This portrait of society is what will ensure the novel lasts, but I sincerely hope that all readers of this work appreciate the story itself as much as I do.
    • 5/5
      can I give it more than five stars? This is my all time favorite book, it haunts me. A strong woman, lots of atmosphere, mystery, does it get any better?
    • 5/5
      The finest of all the Bronte books, in my opinion. Anne Bronte knew more about the sexual politics of Victorian England than either of her two sisters.
    • 3/5
      The tale of one foolish young man's growing love for the eponymous tenant, a widow with a child and a very solemn disposition. The main character is a foolish prig and his beloved is little better; if we could average out their bloodless piety with Wuthering Heights's overwrought passions, perhaps we'd reach a happy medium. That Helen's husband had been a brute is unquestionable, but read what she thinks about him: "And I had been looking forward to this season with the fond, delusive hope that we should enjoy it so sweetly together; and that, with God's help and my exertions, it would be the means of elevating his mind, and refining his taste to a due appreciation of the salutary and pure delights of nature, and peace, and holy love." Oh noes, he doesn't want to "refine" his tastes in "due appreciation of...holy love." I uh, don't blame him. Tangentially, here's a passage that amused me greatly, in which Gilbert writes of Helen's brother Mr. Lawrence, "...the increasing pleasure I found in his society--partly from his increased cordiality to me, but chiefly on account of his close connection, both in blood and in affection, with my adored Helen. I loved him for it better than I liked to express; and I took a secret delight in pressing those slender white fingers, so marvelously like her own, considering he was not a woman, and in watching the passing changes in his fair pale features, and observing the intonations of his voice, detecting resemblances which I wondered had never struck me before." Hee!
    • 5/5
      Anne Bronte is probably the least prominent of the three Bronte sisters, with this book and her other novel Agnes Grey not having achieved the same fame as Charlotte's Jane Eyre and Emily's Wuthering Heights. But in terms of quality, I think this deserves to be ranked alongside those two masterpieces of early 19th century literature. The central narrative of the story revolves around speculation about the identity of the eponymous occupant of the local hall, with a substantial middle section of the book revealing her true identity and her dramatic failed marriage, an account which strikes many parallels with failed marriages of more recent times in the basic patterns and themes. Probably the most interesting aspect of the book for me was how successful the author is in portraying convincingly both the male authorial voice of the framework narrative in the first and final parts of the book, farmer Gilbert Markham, and the female much more aristocratic voice of Mrs Graham and her real identity in the middle part. Bronte switches gender register and ways of looking at the world in a seemingly effortless way between these sections, which is rare even now, and even rarer in the mid-19th century. A great read, though the very ending was perhaps slightly too drawn out.
    • 5/5
      This novel knocked my socks off for it's surprisingly modern feminism and descriptions of survivors of narcissistic alcoholics. Takes the gloss right off of the Jane Austen treatment of people of similar means and moral attitudes. The moral and physical fortitude of Helen is incredible considering the epoch. Despite the fact that she is essentially considered property, she retains her dignity, her wits, her empathy (even for her detestable husband), and her ability to love. Truly, this is a worthy portrait of and guide for survivors of abuse/alcoholism notwithstanding it was written more than 150 years ago.
    • 5/5
      I only discovered Anne Bronte a few years ago, and she is far and away my favourite Bronte sister. This is her second book and is better written than the first one. It was a shocking book in its time because it showed how bad a husband could be and she had her protagonist leave her husband. Be very careful to get a copy that is true to the book Anne published, because after Anne died, her sister had later editions published with some of the more disturbing (at that time, not by today's standards) taken out.
    • 3/5
      The bad people are all horrible and the pious people are all saintly. No one is even remotely in the grey-area. Mr Hargrave seems to get a bit of a personality transplant halfway through. Helen is almost insufferable. Her aunt gets proved right, despite having a despicable (even for the time) attitude towards her niece. Anne can't pull off the pious heroine in the same way that Charlotte did in Villette, she just makes her horrendous. And who the fuck is Gilbert, anyway? He's so boring as to be utterly lacking in impact.

      The writing was pretty good, though.
