Produktbeschreibung
Anne Brontë's second novel The Tenant of Wildfell Hall centers the arrival of the mysterious Helen Graham and her young son at the old mansion. She captures the attention of many locals, including Gilbert Markham, who becomes gradually infatuated with her. Helen Graham is a young widow and mother of a five-year-old son. She moves into the Wildfell Hall mansion and attempts to lead a quiet life. Helen is very private and refuses to divulge any details about her personal affairs. Despite reservations, she starts a friendship with Gilbert Markham, who eventually falls in love with her. Helen's secretive nature is a point of contention with neighbors, leading to constant speculation. When targeted by a vulgar rumor, she's forced to reveal the truth about her peculiar behavior and dark past. In The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Helen's focus and resilience is undeterred by tradition or social conventions. Brontë gives unprecedented agency to a female protagonist living in the Victorian era. Her story is a testament to the human spirit and the art of self-preservation. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is both modern and readable.

Autorenporträt
Anne Brontë was an English novelist and poet, and the youngest member of the literary family. Acton Bell was Anne Bronte's pseudonym when writing. The youngest of the Brontë children and born on January 17, 1820, was Anne Branwell Branwell. She was born and raised in a little community seven miles (11 kilometers) from Haworth Parsonage, where she was baptized. When Anne was just a year old, her mother Maria Branwell passed away; her father Patrick attempted remarriage but was unsuccessful. Anne, Emily, and Branwell Branwell frequently read books from their father's extensive collection as well as pieces from The Edinburgh Review, Fraser's Magazine, and Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine. John Bradley of Keighley taught them painting while Anne studied piano and drawing at home. At age 29, Anne passed away on May 28, 1849, with Charlotte and Ellen Nussey at her side. After the burial service on May 30, Anne's remains were transported to Scarborough. To attend his daughter's burial, Anne Bronte's father could not have traveled the 110 km (70 mi) distance from Haworth to Scarborough. Under the castle walls and with a view of the bay, Anne was laid to rest at St. Mary's graveyard. Here lie the bones of Anne Bronte, daughter of the Rev. P. Bronte, incumbent of Haworth, Yorkshire, according to the stone Charlotte had put over her grave.
