“The Tenant of Wildfell Hall” is Anne Brontë’s wildly successful and best-known novel. Written in 1848 under the pseudonym “Acton Bell” (each of the Brontë sisters wrote under pen names), it proved to be the most popular book written by the three sisters during their lifetimes. It tells the story of Helen Graham, a young woman who is courted by and marries the spoiled and self-involved Arthur Huntingdon, a charming suitor but a disastrous and cruel husband. Told through Helen’s diary entries, the reader is led through her attempts to escape this torturous union as she struggles to raise their only son. Both controversial in its frankness and immensely popular among the reading public, “The Tenant of Wildfell Hall” would sadly prove to be Anne’s final book (she died the year after it appeared in print). It is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
