First published in 1848, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall remains a powerful and thought-provoking classic. Anne Brontë's fearless exploration of themes such as alcoholism, abuse, and women's autonomy challenged the conventions of her time, making this novel a compelling and enduring work that continues to resonate with readers today.

ANNE BRONTË [1820-1849] was an English poet and novelist. She was the youngest of the three Brontë authors, her older sisters being Emily and Charlotte. Anne died young, probably from tuberculosis, having published the novels Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, the latter hailed today as one of the first feminist novels.
