About The Tenant of Wildfell Hall
The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is Anne Brontë’s second novel, first published in 1848. It tells the story of Helen Graham, a young woman who has moved into the empty house of the title in order to escape her marriage to Arthur Huntingdon, a seemingly charming but ultimately cruel and dissolute man said to have been inspired by Brontë’s brother Branwell. In spite of Arthur’s infidelity and emotional abuse, the laws and social conventions of the time mean that Helen cannot obtain a divorce without his consent; in this context, her refusal to allow him to share her bed and her determination to escape and build a new life for herself and her son have led many critics to consider The Tenant of Wildfell Hall an important proto-feminist work.
