A review by crimsonpermanentassurance
The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë
3.0
2.5 stars. The religious, temperance moralizing/ Rake's Progress elements really got under my skin, and in the way of my enjoyment of the narrative. Having said that, modern readers aren't the intended audience, so take that for what you will.
Two things I learned:
1) "But I can CHANGE him" is a story as old as time (and an endeavour that always ends in tears), and
2) Time traveling tourists would have no hope of "blending in" in rural, Victorian England, what with the aggressive, almost contact sport of "But Who Are Their People?"
