Published in June 1848, less than a year before her death, Anne Bronte's second (and last) novel, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, is the somber account of the breakdown of a marriage in the face of alcoholism and infidelity. The novel enjoyed a modest success that led its publisher, theunscrupulous T.C. Newby, to issue a "Second Edition" less than two months later. The present edition, which completes the Clarendon Edition of the Novels of the Brontes, offers a text based on the collation of the first edition with the second. The introduction details the work's composition andearly printing history, including its first publication in America; and the text is fully annotated. Appendices record the substantive variants in the first English and American editions, and discuss the author's belief in the doctrine of universal salvation.

Dickens described "David Copperfield" as his favorite work, and it holds significant literary importance due to its autobiographical elements. After the death of his father, David Copperfield enjoys a happy childhood with his mother and the maid Peggotty. His mother's remarriage to Murdstone brings tyranny and suffering until her death. David is thrown out of the house and placed as a worker in a London wine shop. He lives with Mr. Micawber, who ends up in prison due to his debts. David decides to visit his Aunt Trotwood in Dover, who takes him in and sends him to school in Canterbury. After school, David moves to London and reunites with his friend Steerforth. He aspires to become a lawyer and works in the office of Mr. Spenlow, developing a close relationship with his daughter Agnes. During a visit to Yarmouth, he learns of Steerforth's elopement with Peggotty's niece, Emilie. David secretly becomes engaged to Dora, but after Agnes loses her fortune, she moves to London with him. David becomes a newspaper reporter and writer, marries Dora, who soon falls into difficult circumstances, and loses her shortly thereafter. Emilie is found by Peggotty, Steerforth dies, and the Peggotty family emigrates to Australia. Ultimately, David marries Agnes Wickfield, whom Dora had chosen as her successor.

"'Every day, the Sheriff robs the ordinary people with high taxes, ' Robin said to the other outlaws. 'We should rob the Sheriff in return. But we will not rob him because we want to be rich. We will use the money to help the poor. We will not harm women, children or honest men. We will right wrongs when we can and we will bring hope to the people when we can. We will live outside the law because the law is only for rich men. We will fight these rich men's unfair laws.' "--Back cover
