'The Tenant of Wildfell Hall' is the second and final novel by Anne Brontë. It was published in 1848 under the pseudonym name Acton Bell. The story is written as a letter from Gilbert Markham to his friend and brother-in-law. Markham writes about a mysterious woman, Helen Graham, who lives at an old house called Wildfell Hall with her small son and a servant.

Anne Brontë (1820-1849) was one of three sisters who wrote novels and poems under male names because publishers did not want to print works by women. Anne and her sisters, Charlotte and Emily, went by the names Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell, and each contributed several poems to a book of poetry published in 1846.

Anne's first book, 'Agnes Grey' was published in 1847 along with the novel 'Wuthering Heights' written by her sister Emily. 'The Tenant of Wildfell Hall' was published the following year.

'The Tenant of Wildfell Hall' challenged the morals of the Victorian-era. It is the most shocking of the Brontës' novels. Despite initial success, Charlotte prevented its republication following Anne's death until 1854. Anne Brontë died on 28th May 1849 in Scarborough, Yorkshire of tuberculosis.
