The Tenant of Wildfell Hall Anne Bronte Book

Controversial at the time of its publishing The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is considered one of the first feminist novels, depicting a woman's flight from an abusive marriage to protect herself and her child, and challenging the patriarchal laws of the time.

Minimally shelf worn to edges. Some spine slant is evident. Endpapers clean and unmarked. Occasional foxing to leaves within as expected of a book of this age but otherwise text clean and unmarked throughout. 371 pp. plus 4 pp. advertisement to rear.
