Victorians! discussion

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall was a wildly popular and controversial novel when it was published in 1848. Critics then and later criticized the uneven characterization, but it was Brontë’s progressive ideas about the rights of women that caused an uproar in the mid-1800s. Some considered the novel unfit for women to read. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall has interest for readers in the early 2000s because of its insight into the historical roles of men and women and for the ways it illustrates how marriage has changed and how some things—such as domestic abuse—have not.

Sounds pretty fascinating....

Sorry new to the group, and this story sounds particularly fascinating. Is there a reading schedule ( see discussion is already open to chapter 30), or do you post on the thread that corresponds to your chapter, whenever that may be? Thanks!
