Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

This volume completes the acclaimed Clarendon Edition of the Novels of the Bront�s. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Anne Bront�'s second (and last) novel, was published in June 1848, less than a year before her death. It is the sombre account of the breakdown of a marriage in the face of alcoholism and infidelity. Writing with a power not usually associated with the youngest of the Bront� sisters, Anne portrays the decline of an aristocratic husband whose drunkenexcesses and domestic violence force his loving wife into a reluctant rebellion.
