I feel that the Tennant of Wildfell Hall stands alone as
great literature, and should not be judged on the basis of
how it promotes ones socio-political agenda (feminism), a
proposition which is doubtfull in itself.
I am amazed that Anne Bronte is almost the forgotten
sister. Some feel that she owes the novel to Emily because
of some supposed connections to Wuthering Heights. I
have read both, and feel there is some similarity in subject
matter, but greatly different approaches.
It is interesting that some feel that girls should not read
this when Anne essentially wrote it as a warning for them
not to follow the path of Helen huntingdon.
