This volume completes the acclaimed Clarendon Edition of the Novels of the Brontės. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Anne Brontė'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 Brontė sisters, Anne portrays the decline of an aristocratic husband whose drunkenexcesses and domestic violence force his loving wife into a reluctant rebellion.

Anne Brontė was born in 1820, the youngest of the Brontė family. She was educated at home in the Yorkshire village of Howarth, and later held two positions as a governess, difficult experiences which inspired her first novel, Agnes Grey, in 1847. This was followed by The Tenant of Wildfell Hall in 1848. Anne died of tuberculosis in 1849, aged twenty-nine.
