Description

Note: Editions of The Tenant that start with: "You must go back with me..." are incomplete. Actual opening line of the novel is: "To J. Halford, Esq. Dear Halford, when we were together last..."

In The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Anne Bronte chronicles the disillusionment, heartbreak, and final devastation of an intelligent woman who falls in love with a rake. She flees her disastrous marriage and sets up as a professional artist--a highly unusual and daring step for a woman of her time. Bronte's message remains relevant in a time when the dangerous lover--not unlike the dark and mesmerizing Heathcliff and Rochester respectively of Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights and Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre--still lurks in romance narratives, and the belief in the beautiful illusion of saving the lost soul through love retains its seductive power.
