WATCH THIS before you read The Tenant of Wildfell Hall

In this video, we cover some biographical information about Anne Bronte, the premise and structure of the novel, and I wrap up with four major concepts to pay attention to when you're reading!

I have read that some scholars consider it to be a real possibility that Anne would have eclipsed her two sisters in fame and regard had she lived much longer. She was only around 30 when she died. I like Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights, but feel that Anne's two novels are more realistic.

Fantastic video! Tenant was one of my favourite books I read last year, and your discussion of the themes in this video is spot on and very well researched and presented. I never do much research into the books I'm reading until I'm done, so it was interesting to hear about the background of the book and Anne Bronte's life as well as wider Victorian society. Looking forward to the other videos in this series!

[KierTheScrivener]

I always adore your content. This is a book that I've wanted to pick up for so long and now I am even more eager.

Great video! I'm halfway through reading this after seeing the BBC miniseries about the Bronte Sisters "To Walk Invisible." I agree with you that the subject matter in this book is way more controversial than her sisters novels and I think she is not given as much credit as she deserves. Looking forward to watching the rest of the videos in this series once I'm done reading the book. Fyi, you mention in the first few minutes that Gilbert is re-telling the story of how he met his wife, which is a spolier, lol, but since the book is 100 plus years old I guess it's OK.

utterly fascinating, informative presentation🤩

Very informative video, thanks! I was so blown away by how amazing this book is.

Thank you for such wonderful review.
I just finished reading The Tenant of Wilsfell Hall for the second time, and it certainly captures the complex human emotions and its' heart's drastic, slow-to-come change in quite an interesting manner. The complexity of Helen's character is quite rare, even in other Brontè novels I have come to read, as well.
The same with how addiction was told and how abuse was portrayed in such haunting way, as the reader finds mister Huntingdon's true character with every turn of a page within that lively man that was presented at the beginning. One doesn't know what he is capable of, as doesn't Helen; It causes its' own horror.
I do hope you would take in other Bronté novels like Villette, Agnes Grey, Jane Eyre etc.

I came for Anne Bronte and stayed and subscribed for the amazing voice and presentation.

[helenamcginty]

Found this looking for an audiobook of the novel .I have read it a couple of times before and just listened to part of bbc radio 4 In Our Time podcast (i fell asleep ... siesta time ) where the novel was discussed. Recommend as well as this video.
Thanks.

Alexandra, quite a brill analysis of "The Tenant of Wildfell". I run the British Literature Club in Washington, DC, and in the month of June 2020, we are reading Anne's novel. Come visit us if you are in Washington. Cheers. Alphonse-Louis

[rosameryrojas-delcerro]

I did not like Wuthering Heights, but I do love Jane Eyre and the Tenant of Wildfell Hall. They are the two best Bronte books.

[sthelenshistorychannel]

The brilliant underrated one... and they knew a lot about alcoholism and opiate addiction, probably too much, in Charlotte's case xD

[jaredvaughan]

There are 6 Bronte books and 6 Austen books. It is fitting that the summit of female literature gets an equal footing.
