Description

Helen Graham takes Wildfell Hall and will not explain herself. Listen to Anne Brontë’s novel unabridged in English: a wife’s ledger of a marriage gone to drink, a painter’s independence, the right to leave. Gilbert Markham wants the mystery; Helen wants a life that is not a man’s ruin. Victorian manners meet a hard moral — addiction, hypocrisy, hunting, a brother who stays. The book shocked because it told the marriage from inside the wreck. A woman who will not go back to being an ornament.

Author

Anne Brontë (1820–1849) wrote with a quieter blade than her sisters: Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall look steadily at work, drink, and a woman’s right to leave. The moral force has not dated.
