Anne Bronte (1820-1849) was an English novelist and poet who didn’t live long enough to give the world all she could have, but she did write Agnes Grey, which is now generally considered a classic in English and Western literature. Of all the sisters’ works, it is Emily’s Wuthering Heights that has aged the best over time, continuing to retain its place as a classic of English literature. Anne’s Agnes Grey was written as a Volume III to be packaged with Wuthering Heights and was finished within a year of Emily’s novel. Anne is somewhat overshadowed today by her more famous sisters, Charlotte, who wrote Jane Eyre; and Emily with Wuthering Heights. But Anne was a great writer in her own right, and she wrote in a sharper, more realistic style than her two sisters, who focused on romantic prose.

29 of 30 people found the following review helpful. criticising Victorian moral By Mei Anne Brontë (1820-1849) has published two books: 'Agnes Grey' (1847) and 'The Tenant of Wildfell Hall' (1848). In this book a young woman, Helen Graham, and her young son arrive in a small village and rent Wildfell Hall. She works as a artist to support herself and her child. The villagers try to find out who she is and what her background is. Helen does not tell a lot about herself and the villagers start gossiping about her. It turns out that Helen has fled from her alcoholic and abusive husband.At the time this book was written, it was not only considered morally wrong for a wife to leave her husband, but it was even against the law. According to some this book was (one of) the first feminist novel(s). Themes in this book are: alcoholism, gender relations, Victorian moral and the (lack of) rights of women. The alcoholic husband is believed to be based on Anne Brontë's brother Branwell.This Kindle edition has 6421 'locations', which is compareable to over 350 pages in print in paperback.

Deserves to be as well known and widely read as Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre By Ash Ryan Apparently, the main reason Anne Brontë's masterpiece is not as well known as her sisters' is that Charlotte suppressed any new editions after her death, as the novel was deemed extremely shocking for its time. This is very unfortunate, as The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is much better than Anne's previous book, Agnes Grey, better even than Emily's Wuthering Heights, and nearly as good as Charlotte's Jane Eyre. Like Jane Eyre, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall examines the roles of reason and passion in life and concludes that both are necessary to achieve happiness. More specifically, Wildfell Hall is about how to judge other people's characters, particularly in matters of love. These themes are brilliantly dramatized through a story about a woman who makes a youthful, but profound, error in whom she chooses to marry, and as her husband's vicious nature becomes increasingly clear, struggles to leave him---and how she herself is unfairly judged by her new neighbors when she manages to do so. (While I'm sure Anne didn't intend it this way, given her Christian piety, the novel could be read as a good argument for liberal divorce laws and the wisdom of cohabitation before marriage.)Many people sharply contrast the romanticism of Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre with the realism of Wildfell Hall, but this is a mistake---and, despite its more frank depictions of some of the social problems of its time (including alcoholism and domestic abuse), Anne rejected this dichotomy in the novel itself:"'But romantic notions will not do: I want her to have true notions.'"'Very right: but in my judgment, what the world stigmatises as romantic, is often more nearly allied to the truth than is commonly supposed; for, if the generous ideas of youth are too often over-clouded by the sordid views of after-life, that scarcely proves them to be false.'"This is related to the broader theme about the dichotomy of reason and passion, which she also rejects, so that analysis more or less misses the whole point of the novel.Like Jane Eyre (and to a lesser extent Wuthering Heights), The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is an intellectual and emotional tour de force, and one of the greatest classics in all of world literature. It's a real tragedy that Anne died even younger than her sisters before she could write anything else. Four and a half stars.

By Voves I just finished Anne Brontë's 2nd novel and I found it an absolute page turner...Anne's reputation as the lesser Brontë sister seems very unfounded and I guess Charlotte started that ball rolling back in the day with "the gentle Anne" stuff and saying this novel was a "mistake" , hardly!I feel like an unknown Brontë novel just fell out of a cupboard at the Parsonage , yet it's been in plain sight all along !Anne was a real Brontë and let me just say, "gentle Anne" stayed in an outside job years and years longer that any other Brontë off spring ever could. Anne was tough. There was grit in that gentleness, that's the best kind .Like all Brontës, Anne's dialogue is so modern and fast moving! I'm going to have to read it again to see what I missed in my haste! It's not Jane Eyre...but it can stand next to JE in pride...and how many novels can say that?Many miss a good read passing it by and it's a shame. Reading this excellent book also now makes, to me, Anne's passing at 29 an even keener tragedy. One becomes more aware of world's untimely loss; not just of more Anne Brontë books, but of Anne BrontëAnne Brontë wanted to make a mark before leaving this world. Well Anne, you did
