"¡Que maravilloso sería convertirse en una institutriz! Salir al mundo... ganar mi propio sustento... ¡Enseñar a madurar a los jóvenes!" Este es el sueño de la hija de un modesto vicario, un ideal de independencia economica y personal, y de entrega a una noble tarea como la educacion. Una vez cumplido, sin embargo, los personajes de este sueño se revelan mas bien como monstruos de pesadilla: niños brutales, jovencitas intrigantes y casquivanas, padres grotescos, madres mezquinas e indulgentes... y en medio de todo ello la joven soñadora, tratada poco menos que como una criada. Agnes Grey (1847), primera novela de Anne Bronte, es una arida revelacion basada en experiencias autobiograficas del precario status, material y moral, de una institutriz victoriana.

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is the second and final novel by the English author Anne Bronte It was first published in 1848 under the pseudonym Acton Bell. Probably the most shocking of the Brontes novels, it had an instant and phenomenal success, but after Annes death her sister Charlotte prevented its re-publication. The novel is framed as a series of letters from Gilbert Markham to his friend and brother-in-law about the events leading to his meeting his wife. A mysterious young widow arrives at Wildfell Hall, an Elizabethan mansion which has been empty for many years, with her young son and servant. She lives there in strict seclusion under the assumed name Helen Graham and very soon finds herself the victim of local slander. Refusing to believe anything scandalous about her, Gilbert Markham, a young farmer, discovers her dark secrets. In her diary, Helen writes about her husbands physical and moral decline through alcohol, and the world of debauchery and cruelty from which she has fled. This novel of marital betrayal is set within a moral framework tempered by Annes optimistic belief in universal salvation.[2] The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is mainly considered to be one of the first sustained feminist novels.[3] May Sinclair, in 1913, said that the slamming of Helens bedroom door against her husband reverberated throughout Victorian England. In escaping her husband, Helen violates not only social conventions, but also English law (font. Wikipedia)

With an Afterword by Kathryn White The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is one of few nineteenth-century novels to address alcoholism, psychological abuse, violence and the inequality of women''s property rights. In a powerful psychological narrative, Anne Bronte tells the strange tale of the disintegration of the marriage of Helen Graham, the mysterious tenant of Wildfell Hall. When it was first published in 1848, Anne Bronte''s second novel was attacked by the Spectator for its ''morbid love of the coarse, if not the brutal''. In her defence, Anne stated that she ''wished to tell the truth, for truth always conveys its own moral to those who are able to receive it''. Anne''s own sister Charlotte considered the novel ''an entire mistake'', and after Anne''s death in 1849 she suppressed any further editions, wishing to protect her reputation from accusations of immorality. Anne Bronte challenges the reader, proving that she is a novelist in her own right and not just of interest as the youngest sister of the better known authors Charlotte and Emily.
