Hard Cover. A New Edition. Octavo, pp. 390, [10]. Frontispiece and vignette to title page. Maroon cloth with black embossing to spine and boards, and with gilt titles to spine and upper board. Some rubbing to the extremities and small scuffs to the cloth. Upper hinge split but holding. Some light scattered foxing to the text-block edges and end-papers.

The epistolary tale was considered shocking upon publication, with themes of alcoholism and domestic violence, and the flight of heroine Helen from her abusive husband along with their child was at the time against the law. The novel is widely regarded as one of the earliest examples of feminist writing, with the character challenging societal norms of the period.…

Foxing to prelims. **THE TENANT OF WILDFELL HALL (1848) is a remarkable departure from the Brontë sisters' more well-known works. This is no gothic romance like "Wuthering Heights" (1847, Emily Brontë) or "Jane Eyre" (1847, Charlotte Brontë). The villain is much more close to home, the terrors much more domestic. Whereas her sisters are famous for the wild, Byronic Heathcliff of "Wuthering Heights" and the "madwoman in the attic" of "Jane Eyre," Anne Brontë describes a woman, Helen Graham, trapped in a marriage to an abusive drunk. What makes the book so important is Helen's strength of character - to flee her husband in order to protect her child, but also to aid him when he is ill. This, then, is no simple morality tale or novel of social manners and courtship, but a bold (and shocking at the time) exposé of female empowerment and moral strength. Helen refused to have her son corrupted by her husband's self-destructive behavior, and left him. Anne's more famous sister, Charlotte, refused to have her sister's novel reprinted after the latter's death, and opined that Anne's works were just lesser than her own. To this reader, "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall" can speak for itself. **EDITION: The 1859 Smith Elder "New Edition" was based on the 1854 T. Hodgson "Parlour Edition," itself an expurgated, single-volume remake from the original 3-vol. first edition of 1848. This book, then, has a slightly more classy alternative hard cover binding than the Smith Elder railroad yellow-backs (The Cheap Editions,) which were, by contrast, done up in rather more gaudy, attention-grabbing orangey-gold soft printed wraps and with much advertising both front, rear and on the wraps themselves. Bibliographer William Smith identifies our book as a subedition to these, made uniform with five other Brontë titles, for the price of 3s.6d. Another marketing variation of the same material could be purchased in half morocco with marbled edges for 6 s. apiece. It relates to OCLC 771303020 and British Library ALMA 990004855480109251. A single copy is noted in the British Library upon Worldcat. So, a very scarce imprint. W. Smith, The Brontë Sisters, a Bibliographical Catalogue, (Los Angeles, Heritage Bookshop, 1991.)

First edition. Three volumes. 12mo. 190x110mm. pp. [4], 358; [2], 366; [2], 342. Bound by Bayntun-Riviere (for Henry Sotheran) in modern green half morocco, boards covered in green linen.

Internally very good with only slight foxing in places. Repair to half title in volume I. Two leaves (Q11 of volume I and D2 of volume III) have been expertly repaired and there is a closed tear to the foot of D9 of volume III not affecting the text. Volume 1 lacking final leaf with publisher's advertisements. A very good copy of the scarce first edition of Anne Brontë's only separately published novel. 500 copies were printed but no more than 300 were issued as the first edition. The book sold well and the remaining copies were issued a few months later, with a new title page and a (now celebrated) preface by Anne, as the second edition. Initially regarded by some critics (not least her sister Charlotte who thought the subject matter a "mistake") as "coarse" and "revolting" but now seen as a prescient and innovative in its realistic handling of subjects such as alcoholism, marital disarray and mental collapse that nineteenth century writers tended to address obliquely, if at all. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is regarded as one of the first feminist novels in its sympathetic treatment of a woman asserting her freedom in the face of male abuse. But it is a multi-layered, complex book as we can see from Charlotte Brontë's harsh but perceptive view that the novel was written "under a strange conscientious, half-ascetic notion of accomplishing a painful penance and a severe duty. Blameless in deed and almost in thought - there was from her [Anne's] very childhood a tinge of religious melancholy in her mind". …

Condition: Very Good. First Edition. First American Edition, first printing. Bound in publisher's original brown cloth decorated in blind with spine decorated in gilt. Very Good with cloth lightly soiled and worn at corners and spine ends. Inexpert bookplate removal to front paste down. Small stain to top corner of several early leaves and rear paste down. Pages are foxed, browned and with occasional creasing throughout. A lovely copy, rare in the original publisher's cloth. The second and final novel by the youngest of the Bronte sisters, published under the pseudonym Acton Bell. Anne died at the age of 29, a year after its publication. It was a commercial success compared to her first novel, Agnes Grey, that debuted in "the year of revolutions," 1848. Recent critics have appreciated the novel's autobiographical realism and overtly-political feminism-- specifically its defense of single motherhood and dramatization of a woman trapped in an abusive marriage with no legal way to secure a divorce. It is widely understood to be a critique of the idealized Victorian woman in her sisters' much more popular Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights.…
