Chapter I.→ |
'The Tenant of Wildfell Hall' is the second and final novel by English author Anne Brontë, published in 1848. It is framed as a letter from Gilbert Markham to his friend and brother-in-law about the events leading to his meeting his wife. The novel also seems to be Anne's response to the novels of her sisters. Arthur Huntingdon bears many similarities to Mr. Rochester in her sister Charlotte's 'Jane Eyre'. Also, the preponderous of "H" names (Halford, Helen, Huntingdon, Hattersley, and Hargrave) recalls Emily Brontë's 'Wuthering Heights', as well as the estate itself - Wildfell Hall and Wuthering Heights.
