Produktbeschreibung
Anne Brontë's 'The Tenant of Wildfell Hall' is a powerful and controversial novel that shines a light on the issues of alcoholism, women's rights, and the oppressive nature of marriage in Victorian society. The book is written in a unique epistolary format, providing readers with a firsthand account of the protagonist's experiences. Brontë's vivid descriptions and engaging narrative style make this novel a compelling read that continues to resonate with readers today. The literary context of the novel places it alongside other works of Victorian literature that challenged societal norms and conventions. With its complex characters and thought-provoking themes, 'The Tenant of Wildfell Hall' remains a timeless classic in the world of English literature. Anne Brontë, the youngest Brontë sister, drew upon her own observations and experiences to create this groundbreaking novel. As a governess, Anne had firsthand knowledge of the struggles faced by women of her time, which is reflected in the novel's depiction of the protagonist's fight for independence and self-determination. Anne's bold and courageous storytelling sets her apart as a writer unafraid to address difficult and controversial topics. I highly recommend 'The Tenant of Wildfell Hall' to readers who enjoy thought-provoking literature that delves into complex social issues. Anne Brontë's masterful storytelling and insightful exploration of gender dynamics make this novel a must-read for anyone interested in Victorian literature or feminist literature.
Autorenporträt
Anne Brontë was born at Thornton in Bradford on 17 January 1820. Her father was curate of Haworth, Yorkshire, and her mother died when she was a baby, leaving five daughters and one son. Anne was the youngest of the Brontë children. In 1824 Charlotte, Maria, Elizabeth and Emily were sent to Cowan Bridge, a school for clergymen's daughters, where Maria and Elizabeth both caught tuberculosis and died. The children were taught at home from this point on and together they created vivid fantasy worlds which they explored in their writing. Anne worked as a governess between 1840 and 1845 and in 1846, along with Charlotte and Emily, published Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell. After this Anne published Agnes Grey (1847) and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (1848) before her death on 28 May 1849.
