It's been awhile since I finished the book but sadly, school got in the way of a good review. I'm done midterms now, so I figured I should write this before finals hell sets in! This novel can be divided into three parts. The first part introduces the widow Helen Graham as she moves into Wildfell Hall from the perspective of Gilbert Markham, a neighbour. It details the rumours and gossip of the Victorian country folk with regards to Helen's life. As Gilbert and Helen grow closer, she imparts him with her diary. The second and longest part of the novel is Helen's diary. Afterwards, we return to Gilbert's point of view for the last part. My favourite, and the favourite of most readers, would be the section of the book that is Helen's diary. Anne Bronte perfectly captures the idealism-turned-despair of her heroine as she is courted by Arthur Huntingdon, gets married, and sees her life slowly fall apart. As the reader progresses through the diary entries, he or she gradually builds a better understanding of Helen's character and how she has become the person whom Gilbert meets. Helen herself is clearly the main attraction of the novel - an atypical strong Victorian heroine, she swallows all her pain to first keep her husband in check, then to preserve her own pride, and finally to save her son. Her writing style in the diary, while emotional, is also careful, calculating, and witty. I believe this is a reflection on Anne Bronte herself, who (unlike Charlotte and Emily) did not rely on romanticism, but rather realism. I also highly recommend reading the preface to the novel, written by the author under the pseudonym Acton Bell. My only criticism of the novel is the ending - it is far too prolonged, and ends up being quite annoying to read. Another issue, though very minor, is that the novel is presented as a series of letters between Gilbert and a friend. Would Gilbert really copy out huge diary entries (which Helen implored him to keep PRIVATE) in a single letter? Hard to swallow, in this reader's opinion. Overall, a fantastic read. Anne is extremely underrated in the Bronte pantheon.
