" However, after Anne’s death, her reputation faded, not helped by Charlotte, who in 1850 refused to republish The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, saying, ‘Wildfell Hall hardly appears to me desirable to preserve. The choice of subject in that work is a mistake, it was too little consonant with the character, tastes and ideas of the gentle, retiring inexperienced writer.’ (4) Ouch! Thanks sis! "

Wasn’t Charlotte the one revealing Anne’ identity and re publishing Agnes Grey? So Why Faded? ( although her decision for The Tenant is really wonder- whatever the reason was but it seems people really judge this subject poorly without logical reasons ) And why the sources are blogs too? Shouldn’t you have more accurate sources?
