The artwork of Edna Clarke Hall was born out of a kind of fixation more often associated with outsider artists, but Hall herself began as something of an insider. Accepted to London\u2019s prestigious Slade School of Fine Art at just fourteen years old, she studied under the painter Philip Wilson Steer and became the favorite student of the school\u2019s director, the renowned drawing instructor Henry Tonks. Many of her peers would go on to be celebrated artists\u2014the stage designer Albert Rutherston, the painter Arthur Ambrose McEvoy, the sibling portraitists Gwen and Augustus John\u2014and Hall seemed destined for similar success. But her fortunes changed six years later, with her marriage to William Clarke Hall, a lawyer thirteen years her senior with an affinity for young girls. (The poet Ernest<\/span> Dowson once described him as a \u201cdevout follower of the most excellent cult of La Fillette.”)<\/span><\/p>\n

Hall\u2019s husband had been a friend of her father, the reverend Benjamin Waugh, a well-known campaigner who founded the organization that later became the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. William had also dedicated his legal career to children\u2019s advocacy, focusing in particular on legislation to preserve the purity of young girls, like a bill raising the age of consent to twenty-one. (Though he also advocated prosecuting underage girls for their own abuse at the hands of older men. \u201cGirls under 16 years of age,\u201d he wrote in his book <\/span>The Law Relating to Children<\/span><\/i>, \u201care frequently of the most depraved character, and often at least equally guilty with the boys and men who yield to their solicitations.\u201d) This vocation did not, however, dissuade him from proposing to Hall, a sixteen-year-old whom he\u2019d known since she\u2019d turned thirteen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

William\u2019s \u201cLewis Carroll-like inclinations,\u201d as the historian Max Browne terms them, made it \u201calmost impossible to accept the girl he fell in love with as a woman.\u201d His affection for Hall waned shortly after their wedding. \u201cIn the first months of marriage,\u201d she confessed in her unpublished autobiography “<\/span>The Heritage of Ages<\/span>,” \u201cI was left standing like a confused child by an unkindness I could not interpret.\u201d Though William had initially supported Hall\u2019s artistic ambitions, he began to discourage her artistic practice in favor of more traditional housewife pastimes. Holed up in their mansion, Great Tomkyns, in Essex, she felt \u201cdeserted,\u201d isolated and adrift without her art. It was around this time that she first began to sketch scenes from <\/span>Wuthering Heights<\/span><\/i>, the book on which she would ruminate for the next three decades of her life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Edna Clarke Hall was certainly not the first or last sensitive bourgeois girl to be creatively consumed by Emily Bront\u00eb\u2019s vision of the North. The author\u2019s fictional Gimmerton, with its heavy Northern vernacular, was quite far indeed from sunny Edwardian Essex,\u00a0with its polite croquet and cucumber sandwiches. \u201cIt held me in its grip as no other book ever had,\u201d Hall wrote. \u201cWas it the long lonely days at home, the isolation of the house in the wider setting of the landscape, the beams of Great Tomkyns which I still felt in my bones and which so reminded me of this book?\u201d But it was the relationship between Cathy and Heathcliff that especially obsessed her. At times, Hall would dress up as the characters so as to model their clothes for her sketches. \u201cI lived the characters of Heathcliff and Catherine myself, I simply was them,\u201d she explained. \u201cIt was something that had come to pass in a deeply unconscious way. I just had to draw <\/span>Wuthering Heights<\/span><\/i>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Imagining the story awoke something in the long-inactive artist. Bront\u00eb\u2019s novel served as both an escape from and a reflection of her own unhappy marriage. (Unsurprisingly, there are no drawings dated after her husband\u2019s death in 1932.) In “<\/span>Heritage of Ages<\/span>,”<\/span> Hall<\/span> described feeling almost possessed by the need to draw its characters. \u201cI drew them all one evening, I was quite alone, Willie was away. I could not stop,\u201d she wrote<\/span>. <\/span><\/i>She produced the same compositions in many different styles.<\/span> \u201cI had such a strong feeling for it, I seemed to work under a spell. I did one after the other, scattering the sketches about like a maniac \u2026 My obsession with<\/span> Wuthering Heights<\/span><\/i> was so persistent that for years these drawings used to slide out of my mind with complete ease.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hall\u2019s devotion to rendering the tortured lovers yielded hundreds of<\/span> drawings, prints, and watercolors, many of which have been lost or squirreled away in private collections. A selection of her works spent the past decades mostly unnoticed in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Ashmolean in Oxford\u2014until this spring, when a new illustrated edition<\/a> of the novel united thirty of Hall\u2019s sketches with the text for the first time.<\/span><\/p>\n
