The Readers Review: Literature from 1714 to 1910 discussion

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall was our clear winner for the next read, and I look forward to rereading what I recall as one of my favourite Brontë novels. We will read at a leisurely pace, and so take 6 weeks to complete, as follows:

Jan 16-22: Chapters 1-9
Jan 23-29: Ch. 10-19
Jan 30-Feb 5: Ch. 20-28
Feb 6-12: Ch 29-36
Feb 13-19: Ch 37-44-edited
Feb 20-26: Ch 45-end.

Looking forward to it! I've read 4/5 Charlotte/Emily novels and didn't like them, but I've been told (on here, mostly) that Anne's style is very different.

This is my favourite Bronte novel!

Mine too! A wonderful book. Hope everyone reading will enjoy it.

I’ve read the week 1 chapters and am champing at the bit.

I'm on chapter 7 and am enjoying it so far!

Champing at the bit over here, too! Will try to pace myself.

You folks are putting me to shame-I'm just finishing my Aurora Leigh week's read for another group and will get started on this one.

Please note that I have slightly edited the reading schedule for the final 2 weeks.

Read this in 2019. Not ready for a reread yet.

I am just getting started on The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. My only Bronte works so far have been Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre. I am looking forward to getting to know Anne Bronte through her work.

Welcome to our read Marie-we're few weeks in but people can read and comment on their own time, and we enjoy getting different perspectives. Our read is divided into sections and no spoilers are allowed so feel free to read and comment on each week's section as you go.
