I need to get way too excited about this extremely basic edition of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.

It's just an old Barnes and Noble edition. But it's also the best possible cover this book could have in this format. That purple is the perfect color for this book! That picture! Covers of this book usually feature the hall, but this one features Helen! She's an artist! She's looking straight at you! She's demanding to be the focus of the story! It's like it was made for this book!

And then the inside!

That beautiful clear font! The kerning! The white space! It's so beautiful I could cry! That is how you format classic literature so people can actually read it!

I just love how all these little details come together to make this nothing-fancy edition into the ideal copy of this book for me.

A few years ago, I had the idea of making one of those movies about a girl who falls in love with some asshole “bad boy” with the idea that she can “fix him” with her good influence, but it’s portrayed in a realistic way, and instead of improving, he becomes more and more abusive, until she has to escape.

A couple of days ago, I started reading The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, and finished it yesterday… and I realized that Anne Brontë already beat me to it 177 years ago.

"You have to forgive the sexism in this book because it was a product of its time" Anne Bronte did not write The Tenant of Wildfell Hall in 1848 just for me to put up with sexist bullshit written a hundred years later.

I am always astounded when I ask a male literature major which writers they like, and they don’t name ANY women …

(Like dude you say you like fucking HEMMINGWAY???? But not, like, oh I don’t know, Rossetti or Plath or Bradstreet or O’Connor or Welty or Woolf or Austen or Alcott or the Brontës or Shelley or Hurston or Dillard or Dickinson or Jackson or Chopin or Gilman or Atwood or Wharton or Angelou or Stowe or Sappho or E. Browning or…—????)

Don’t even get me started… (too late)
