Why, then, is she less famous than Charlotte and Emily? Discover the real Anne and why she remained for so long in her sisters' shadow.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnne's writing has often been compared harshly with that of Charlotte and Emily--as if living in her sisters' shadows throughout her life wasn't enough. But her reputation, literary and personal, has changed dramatically since \u003ci\u003eAgnes Grey\u003c\/i\u003e was first published in 1846. Then, shocked reviewers complained of her \"crudeness\" and \"vulgarity\"--words used to this day to belittle women writing about oppression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Her second and most famous work, \u003ci\u003eThe Tenant of Wildfell Hall\u003c\/i\u003e, was groundbreaking in its subject matter: marital and alcohol abuse and the rights of married women. A book that refused to sweep difficult truths under the rug. A book so ahead of its time that even her sisters weren't ready for it, Charlotte being one of its harshest critics. And yet today's critics see it as perhaps the best of all the Brontë works. With such a contradictory life and legacy: who was Anne, really? It's time to find out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adelle Hay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1912235641\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781912235643\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Saraband\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.10w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/13\/2022","brand":"Adelle Hay","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44074120315135,"sku":"9781912235643","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5aa9df7b-4679-42ec-819c-735dbd4e90d0.jpg?v=1685451902","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/anne-bront-reimagined-adelle-hay-9781912235643","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
