The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (Oxford World's Classics)

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (Oxford World's Classics)

by Margaret Smith (Contributor), Anne Brontë (Author), Margaret Smith (Contributor), Anne Brontë (Author), Anne Brontë (Author), Herbert Rosengarten (Editor)

Synopsis

Compelling in its imaginative power and bold naturalism, the novel opens in the autumn of 1812, when a mysterious woman who calls herself Helen Graham seeks refuge at the desolate moorland mansion of Wildfell Hall. Bronte's enigmatic heroine becomes the object of gossip and jealousy as neighbors learn she is escaping from an abusive marriage and living under an assumed name. A daring story that exposed the dark brutality of Victorian chauvinism, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall was nevertheless attacked by some critics as a celebration of the same excesses it criticized. This edition of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is the companion volume to the Mobil Masterpiece Theatre WGBH television presentation broadcast on PBS.

Media Reviews
The chronology, notes, and explanatory notes makes this a readable text for any college student. The accessibility of the text sets this edition apart from the usual, mediocre preprintings of Victorian texts. --Professor Lawrence Czer, Martin Luther College
An excellent text with an intelligent and helpful introduction. . . . an attractive book at a very agreeable price, and meticulously scholarly as well. I have not taught this text simply because, until now, there has been no text I liked sufficiently. Now I can. OUP has done academic teaching a
major service. --Dr. A.G. Hunter, Curry College
Anne Bronte sometimes gets lost in the shadows cast by her sisters, so it is a welcome treat to find such a useful, helpful, accessible edition of her fine novel. I look forward to the chance to introduce students to A.B.'s work in this attractive version. --Laura Dabundo, Kennesaw State College
Clear type, useful notes, excellent binding. --H.A. Simpson, Hampden-Sydney College
I have never included this novel in my course, but I'm seriously tempted with this version of it. --Sr. Pauline Fox, Mt. Mercy College
An attractive, affordable copy. --Dr. Robert O'Connor, North Dakota State University
Great to have new access to an under-represented author and text. Very helpful notes and insightful Introduction. --Rita S. Kranidis, Radford University
How marvelous to have this out in paperback! --Robin Feuer Miller, Brandeis University
An admirably edited text, authoritative. --Richard Boyd, University of California, Riverside
A very valuable addition to the World's Classics series--a rare novel, difficult to find in inexpensive editions. --John H. Wilson, Dakota Wesleyan University
