"Frederick Davidson and Nadia May take the roles of the storytellers, and they do an excellent job of portraying both the male and female voices…The choice to use both male and female narrators was a good one, enlivening the story and underlining the differences between the sexes in Victorian England."

"Of the three Brontë sisters, Emily and Charlotte are better known, yet it is Anne's work which carries some of the strongest…themes…While the plot continues and mysteries are unraveled, what Helen and Gilber say…reinforces Anne Brontë's indictment of the sexual double standards of nineteenth-century Britain."

"Every reader who has felt the power ofJane Eyre and Wuthering Heights comes, sooner or later, to The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Anne Brontë, with all the Brontë taste for violence and drama…did not shrink. She used the material at hand, and shaped it with singular honesty and seriousness…Anne is a true Brontë."
Margaret Lane, Brontë scholar
