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.

Once, enough food could be grown in Britain to feed the whole population. High Streets were full of small businesses where everything could be bought or repaired. We lost this national resilience years ago. Now the High Streets are occupied by chain stores full of imported goods, town centre market gardens are car parks, and we can only produce enough to feed half our ever expanding population. The endless economic growth promised has turned sour. Environmentalists argue with politicians, scientists with religious leaders. Resource wars flare up worldwide. However serious the situation is, however impossible a solution seems, we arrived here slowly, one piece of shopping at a time. We need to take back our power and make new choices. There's no time to lose. The Handbook of Practical Resilience outlines how to proceed in an immediate and realistic way. Accessible ground level strategies are combined, and every positive effort counts. This second edition includes your personal resilience assessment and details on constructing a plan to increase this. Simple tasks, adventures and research lead you on the journey to a future with better quality of life, natural harmony, and hope. Resilience expert Elizabeth J Walker is the author of 'Recipes for Resilience - Common Sense Cooking for the 21st Century'.
