![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The first section of Tenant is told from the point of view of Gilbert, a gentleman farmer. This book can be read as a straight-up gothic romance novel – will the mysterious beautiful woman in the rundown mansion marry the gentleman farmer who adores her? But it’s more of a discourse on the perilous position of married women in Victorian England than it is a romance. While Jane Eyre (by Charlotte Brontë) and Wuthering Heights (by Emily Brontë) have remained popular through the years, Anne’s Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall are rarely read now, even though they were the most popular of the Brontë books while the sisters were alive. After many years of reading Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights, I finally got around to reading The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë. ![]()
