Synopsis "Tenant of Wildfell Hall"

Anne Brontë's second novel The Tenant of Wildfell Hall centers the arrival of the mysterious Helen Graham and her young son at the old mansion. She captures the attention of many locals, including Gilbert Markham, who becomes gradually infatuated with her. Helen Graham is a young widow and mother of a five-year-old son. She moves into the Wildfell Hall mansion and attempts to lead a quiet life. Helen is very private and refuses to divulge any details about her personal affairs. Despite reservations, she starts a friendship with Gilbert Markham, who eventually falls in love with her. Helen's secretive nature is a point of contention with neighbors, leading to constant speculation. When targeted by a vulgar rumor, she's forced to reveal the truth about her peculiar behavior and dark past. In The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Helen's focus and resilience is undeterred by tradition or social conventions. Brontë gives unprecedented agency to a female protagonist living in the Victorian era. Her story is a testament to the human spirit and the art of self-preservation. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is both modern and readable.

Anne Brönte era la más joven de las hermanas Brontë. Al igual que sus hermanas Emily y Charlotte, ha pasado a la historia de la literatura a pesar de su corta vida y con solo dos novelas escritas, que publicó bajo el seudónimo de Acton Bell. Siendo una adolescente, junto a su hermana Emily, creó el imaginario reino de Gondal, acerca del cual ambas escribieron cuentos y poemas. A los 19 años entró a trabajar de institutriz, pero enseguida se sintió frustrada al no poder educar bien a una infancia que le pareció ingobernable y consentida. Esta experiencia le sirvió para moldear su primera novela, _Agnes Grey._ La buena acogida de esta obra, permitió al año siguiente la aparición de la segunda y última, _La inquilina de Wildfell Hall._ En ella, se narraba la llegada de una mujer, aparentemente viuda, y de su hijo de corta edad a una antigua mansión, hecho que desatará todo tipo de reacciones en la vecindad. Esta novela fue tachada de inmoral por sus contemporáneos debido a la dureza de ciertos pasajes. Anne murió de tuberculosis.
