| Publisher Description: In The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Anne Bront chronicles the disillusionment, heartbreak, and final devastation of an intelligent woman who falls in love with a rake. She flees her disastrous marriage and sets up as a professional artist--a highly unusual and daring step for a woman of her time. Bront 's message remains relevant in a time when the dangerous lover--not unlike the dark and mesmerizing Heathcliff and Rochester respectively of Emily Bront 's Wuthering Heights and Charlotte Bront 's Jane Eyre--still lurks in romance narratives, and the belief in the beautiful illusion of saving the lost soul through love retains its seductive power. |
