This volume completes the acclaimed Clarendon Edition of the Novels of the Brontes. "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall", Anne Bronte's second (and last) novel, was published in June 1848, less than a year before her death.

Writing with a power not usually associated with the youngest of the Bronte sisters, Anne portrays the decline of an aristocratic husband whose drunken excesses and domestic violence force his loving wife into a reluctant rebellion.
