Charlotte Brontë's 1850 Preface to Wuthering Heights

After Emily Brontë’s death in 1848, her sister Charlotte Brontë issued this 1850 edition of Wuthering Heights and Agnes Grey containing her Preface to the former novel. Also included was a biographical notice of Emily and Anne.

Its significance lies in the fact that this is the first official, public confirmation of the authors’ true gender. After the first publication of Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and Agnes Grey under the male pen names Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell, respectively, critics and the public at large debated whether each novel was written by a man or woman, single or multiple authors. In addition, the Biographical Notice provides the background to their route to publication and acknowledges the prejudices facing women writers.

New Book Club for Autumn 2023!

Announcing Wildfell Weekly, a substack read-a-long for Anne Brontë's novel The Tenant of Wildfell Hall!

You must go back with me to the autumn of 1827.

A new tenant has taken up residence in old Wildfell Hall and Mr. Gilbert Markham finds himself very intrigued. But the widow Mrs. Helen Graham is more than what she seems, and as rumors about her start to fly, she reveals to a doubting Gilbert the truth about the disastrous marriage she left behind.

Anne Brontë differed from her sisters Charlotte (Jane Eyre) and Emily (Wuthering Heights) in favoring a Realist rather than Romantic approach to her writing. In Tenant she explored themes of domestic violence, alcoholism and addiction, gender relations, motherhood and marriage, and the ability of women to define their own lives with an unflinching desire to depict what she saw to be true. While now considered among the first feminist novels, critics of Anne's day were shocked by a book they found coarse, brutal, and overly graphic.

So starting October 26, 2023 and until June 10, 2024, let's read together a story one nineteenth century critic called "utterly unfit to be put in the hands of girls"!

“All novels are, or should be, written for both men and women to read, and I am at a loss to conceive how a man should permit himself to write anything that would be really disgraceful to a woman, or why a woman should be censured for writing anything that would be proper and becoming for a man.”

— Anne Brontë

the beginning of wuthering heights, summarized:

dear diary,

i finally made it to my new place! it’s in the middle of absolutely nowhere. but it’s really awesome. except my landlord is kind of a lunatic. he lives next door. met his family. i don’t understand how any of them are related and i don’t think i want to. i assumed this hot girl was his wife or something but apparently she’s his daughter-in-law (awkward!) and his son is dead or something. they all despise each other and myself as well. i keep going to hang out with them though because i’m bored and lonely lol! my landlord and his servants let a pack of dogs attack me multiple times and then laughed about it. i got stuck in a storm and now i’m sick. also i found a bunch of things belonging to a dead girl named catherine and i'm pretty sure her ghost tried to break into my room and then my landlord ran around screaming and crying? don't know what all that's about. but any way the place really is super cool though!!!

love, lockwood (xoxo)

yk it seems like no one these days wants to wander into the moors and get dragged by the wind and rain as the ghosts from all your past lives haunt you and the love of your life suddenly intertwines with a crooked tree staring at your soul with frozen tears and you finally realize you are trapped within the delusions of your own madness and broken heart. like omg we're girls let's do smth fun
