Riassunto

Uno dei '100 romanzi che hanno plasmato il nostro mondo' della BBC The Penguin English Library Edition di The Tenant of Wildfell Hall di Anne Brontė 'Sembrava cosģ se stessa che non sapevo come sopportarla' In questo racconto sensazionale, duro e appassionato di crudeltą coniugale, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall vede una misteriosa inquilina, Helen Graham, smascherata non come una 'donna malvagia' come vorrebbero i pettegolezzi locali, ma come la moglie separata di un brutale bullo alcolizzato, disperata per proteggere suo figlio. Utilizzando le sue esperienze personali con il fratello Branwell per descrivere la crudeltą e la dissolutezza da cui Helen fugge, Anne Brontė scrisse il suo capolavoro per riflettere la fragile posizione delle donne nella societą e la sua fede nella redenzione universale, ma scandalizzņ i lettori dell'epoca. The Penguin English Library - 100 edizioni della migliore narrativa in inglese, dal diciottesimo secolo e dai primi romanzi all'inizio della prima guerra mondiale.

Su questo libro

Informazioni sull?autore

The youngest of the illustrious Brontė siblings, Anne (1820-1849) wrote poetry and fiction throughout her childhood and went on to become a governess, religious lyric poet and novelist, publishing under the pseudonym Acton Bell. The realist and often ironic tone of her novels Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is strikingly different from the more romantic style of her sisters, Charlotte and Emily. Anne died of pulmonary tuberculosis a year after the publication of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, at only twenty-nine years old.

Dalla quarta di copertina

In this sensational, hard-hitting and passionate tale of marital cruelty, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall sees a mysterious tenant, Helen Graham, unmasked not as a 'wicked woman' as the local gossips would have it, but as the estranged wife of a brutal alcoholic bully, desperate to protect her son. Using her own experiences with her brother Branwell to depict the cruelty and debauchery from which Helen flees, Anne Brontė wrote her masterpiece to reflect the fragile position of women in society and her belief in universal redemption, but scandalized readers of the time.
