The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (November Book Club)

A Splore user • October 10, 2011

About this Splore

For November, we will be reading Anne Bronté's imperfect, but powerful, novel The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.

The Chelsea Book Club is an actual book club that meets once a month (or so) to discuss a book, but you are welcome to join our discussion on Splore.

If you are an AmazonPrime member, you can watch the movie for free, but read the book first!

In the opening chapter, Gilbert and Fergus are explaining to their mother what they have spent the day doing. What is the significance of this scene?

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/337113.The_Tenant_of_Wildfell_Hall

"Gilbert Markham is deeply intrigued by Helen Graham, a beautiful and secretive young woman who has moved into nearby Wildfell Hall with her young son. He is quick to offer Helen his friendship, but when her reclusive behavior becomes the subject of local gossip and speculation, Gilbert begins to wonder whether his trust in her has been misplaced.

"It is only when she allows Gilbert to read her diary that the truth is revealed and the shocking details of the disastrous marriage she has left behind emerge . . . . Told with great immediacy, combined with wit and irony, "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall" is a powerfully involving read."

"The Tenant of Wildfell Hall isn't strictly a love story." Sasha Martinez

"True, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall isn’t strictly a love story. It’s a severe(?), meaty, intense novel — Anne and her awe-inspiring complexities, her darkness. And yes, even her occasional black-and-white view of moral good and evil. It’s a record of social mores, it’s a group of people put under the microscope — even remembered, rehashed, reviewed. It’s domestic politics, it’s the role of men and women in a society at a given time."
