Foxing to prelims. **THE TENANT OF WILDFELL HALL (1848) is a remarkable departure from the Brontë sisters' more well-known works. This is no gothic romance like "Wuthering Heights" (1847, Emily Brontë) or "Jane Eyre" (1847, Charlotte Brontë). The villain is much more close to home, the terrors much more domestic. Whereas her sisters are famous for the wild, Byronic Heathcliff of "Wuthering Heights" and the "madwoman in the attic" of "Jane Eyre," Anne Brontë describes a woman, Helen Graham, trapped in a marriage to an abusive drunk. What makes the book so important is Helen's strength of character - to flee her husband in order to protect her child, but also to aid him when he is ill. This, then, is no simple morality tale or novel of social manners and courtship, but a bold (and shocking at the time) exposé of female empowerment and moral strength. Helen refused to have her son corrupted by her husband's self-destructive behavior, and left him. Anne's more famous sister, Charlotte, refused to have her sister's novel reprinted after the latter's death, and opined that Anne's works were just lesser than her own. To this reader, "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall" can speak for itself. **EDITION: The 1859 Smith Elder "New Edition" was based on the 1854 T. Hodgson "Parlour Edition," itself an expurgated, single-volume remake from the original 3-vol. first edition of 1848. This book, then, has a slightly more classy alternative hard cover binding than the Smith Elder railroad yellow-backs (The Cheap Editions,) which were, by contrast, done up in rather more gaudy, attention-grabbing orangey-gold soft printed wraps and with much advertising both front, rear and on the wraps themselves. Bibliographer William Smith identifies our book as a subedition to these, made uniform with five other Brontë titles, for the price of 3s.6d. Another marketing variation of the same material could be purchased in half morocco with marbled edges for 6 s. apiece. It relates to OCLC 771303020 and British Library ALMA 990004855480109251. A single copy is noted in the British Library upon Worldcat. So, a very scarce imprint. W. Smith, The Brontë Sisters, a Bibliographical Catalogue, (Los Angeles, Heritage Bookshop, 1991.)

Spine lettered in gilt, five raised bands with gilt wavy line, compartments decorated with a single gilt border. Marbled endpapers. A neat, attractive binding in excellent condition. Internally very good with only slight foxing in places. Repair to half title in volume I. Two leaves (Q11 of volume I and D2 of volume III) have been expertly repaired and there is a closed tear to the foot of D9 of volume III not affecting the text. Volume 1 lacking final leaf with publisher's advertisements. A very good copy of the scarce first edition of Anne Brontë's only separately published novel. 500 copies were printed but no more than 300 were issued as the first edition. The book sold well and the remaining copies were issued a few months later, with a new title page and a (now celebrated) preface by Anne, as the second edition. Initially regarded by some critics (not least her sister Charlotte who thought the subject matter a "mistake") as "coarse" and "revolting" but now seen as a prescient and innovative in its realistic handling of subjects such as alcoholism, marital disarray and mental collapse that nineteenth century writers tended to address obliquely, if at all. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is regarded as one of the first feminist novels in its sympathetic treatment of a woman asserting her freedom in the face of male abuse. But it is a multi-layered, complex book as we can see from Charlotte Brontë's harsh but perceptive view that the novel was written "under a strange conscientious, half-ascetic notion of accomplishing a painful penance and a severe duty. Blameless in deed and almost in thought - there was from her [Anne's] very childhood a tinge of religious melancholy in her mind". …
