Review: After reading and loving Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre, I was nervous for Anne’s book. Her sisters had enchanted me, making me (perhaps foolishly) raise them up onto a pedestal. When it came to reading The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, I was worried. What if Anne let me down? What if my previously unchallenged love for the Brontës was shaken? Well, I shouldn’t have doubted Anne! This book was a brilliant read, if not infuriating at times due to certain characters (you know who you are)! Helen, and by extension, Anne, was a woman ahead of her time and it was a delight to read. She knew how to handle men who were getting too big for their boots, that’s for sure! The atmosphere was gorgeously written, something the Brontës all have in common it seems. The writing was very accessible for a classic. I’ve never struggled with Charlotte or Emily’s writing either but I think out of all of the sisters Anne’s writing was the most palatable for the modern reader. All in all a splendid book about the struggles of marriage, womanhood and independence. Definitely worth picking up if you want to start (or continue) your journey with classics.

Review: The novel is one of the most explosive of it`s era. It displays all of Victorian social mores, vanity & hypocrisy in all it`s venal, inglorious filth. Yet, Anne Bronte is the lesser known of the family brood; a quiet, thoughtful person, who weighed up all the options before committing to comment. She is no less a literary genius than her sisters, and should be more widely read and appreciated for her sensational writing talent. The Tenant Of Wildfell hall is the stuff legend; an unstoppable indictment of the injustice against women that Victorian men enjoyed for their own selfish benefit. Nothing quite like it had been seen before, as it winkled out the grubby, dirty truth lying at the heart of Victorian society. This edition is a small, pocket sized book that makes the print very difficult to read; so I would suggest a normal sized copy for anyone with eyesight problems.
