摘要
Traditional images of Anne Bronte do not do justice to her strong-minded and thoughtful feminism. She was particularly concerned with the ideals of manliness and womanliness held out to children, and their consequent effects on adults. In Agnes Grey we find an unhappy marriage based on these mistaken ideals. More radically, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall dramatizes the debate on manhood through the relationship between the two Arthurs, father and son. Helen Huntingdon's separation of her son and herself from her husband and her self-support through painting are at least as radical as anything in Jane Eyre.
