Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Julian Trevelyan (illustrator). 1st Edition. 1966-British Folio Society First Edition, illustrated by the lithographs of Julian Trevelyan. Bronte's depiction of marital breakdown sent shockwaves through Victorian England, and the novel quickly became a publishing phenomenon."The novel is framed as a series of letters from Gilbert Markham to his friend about the events connected with his meeting a mysterious young widow, calling herself Helen Graham, who arrives at Wildfell Hall, an Elizabethan mansion which has been empty for many years, with her young son and a servant. Contrary to the early 19th century norms, she pursues an artist's career and makes an income by selling her pictures. Her strict seclusion soon gives rise to gossip in the neighbouring village and she becomes a social outcast. Refusing to believe anything scandalous about her, Gilbert befriends her and discovers her past. In the diary she gives Gilbert, she chronicles her husband's physical and moral decline through alcohol and debauchery in the dissipated aristocratic society. Ultimately she flees with her son, whom she desperately wishes to save from his father's influence. The depiction of marital strife and women's professional identification has also a strong moral message mitigated by Anne Bronte's belief in universal salvation."

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.
