The Tenant of Wildfell Hall

Part of the Chiltern Classics range

When Helen Graham takes the tenancy of Wildfell Hall, she incites passion and rumour among the local community. Helen’s secrets are slowly revealed; the flight from a brutish, dissolute husband, and determination that her son should not follow his example. Regarded as a milestone of feminist literature, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall challenged Victorian standards when it was published in 1848.
