Description

In the second half of the 19th century, Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre was considered the best of the Brontë sisters’ works, but following later re-evaluation, critics began to argue that Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights was superior. However, Anne, the least known Brontë sister, was not given a chance to compete with her siblings. Despite the fact that The Tenant of Wildfell Hall was an instant and phenomenal success, its re-publication was prevented by Charlotte Brontë after Anne’s death in 1849. This edition includes all three novels, and is limited to 1,000 copies.

The Brontës were a nineteenth-century literary family, born in Thornton England. The sisters, Charlotte, Emily, and Anne, are well known as poets and novelists. Like many contemporary female writers, they originally published their poems and novels under male pseudonyms: Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell. Their stories immediately attracted attention for their passion and originality. Charlotte’s Jane Eyre was the first to know success, while Emily’s Wuthering Heights, and Anne’s The Tenant of Wildfell Hall were later to be accepted as masterpieces of literature.
