Two alerts for the coming days:
In Wilton, CT:
January 26 at 11 am The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë
Wilton Library Association, 137 Old Ridgefield Road, Wilton, CT
Discussion Leader: William Zeigler
Published in 1848, this novel written by the youngest of the Brontë sisters has been described as a “powerful feminist testament.” The story, told by two narrators in two literary forms, is concerned with two periods of time. It is both a romantic-domestic social comedy and the story of a tragic relationship. Charlotte Brontë is said to have expressed the wish that the book had never been written as the life of Arthur Huntingdon, one of the main characters, reflected too closely the life of Branwell Brontë, the degenerate Brontë brother.
