Abstract:

Charlotte Brontë, retirée dans les landes désolées du Yorkshire, tente d'harmoniser ses personnages et leur environnement afin de donner une perception plus aigüe de leur isolement. Les héroïnes, surtout, cherchent une forme d'intégration par leur fusion avec le cosmos. Cette approche tout à fait personnelle met en relief tous les aspects de la vie intérieure : les émotions, les passions et les souffrances acquièrent une plus grande force évocatrice par le pouvoir de l'imagination. On peut remarquer, dans l'expression littéraire de Charlotte Brontë, deux aspirations contradictoires : à la fois

Abstract:

Charlotte and Anne Bronte were both educators and it is not surprising that education plays a prominent part in their fiction. It is more surprising that students and educators, who presumably share an interest in the processes and purposes of education, have not attempted, in previous studies, to provide a comprehensive coverage of the Brontes' approach to educational issues or to examine the function of teaching and learning interactions within their novels. My thesis traverses this relatively unexplored territory. My argument is divided into six parts. First, I outline some of the educatio

Abstract:

Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855), one of the most prominent figures in the questioning of the ideology of the feminine in the literature of the nineteenth century, shows in her works not only a concern with the arbitrariness of the notion of gender, but also a discussion about this notion through the portrayal of protagonists that can be said to be dissonant in the relation to the ideology of the period. In The Professor, Jane Eyre, Shirley and Villette, Brontë portrays characters that do not conform to idealized notions of gender in the period and that explicitly reflect upon the established para

Abstract:

This thesis reads sexual power dynamics – taking pleasure in being hurt by or hurting someone, wanting to control someone sexually or to be controlled, and enjoying power struggles and negotiations of roles – as central elements of Charlotte Brontë’s four mature novels. The argument explores the intersections of sex, play, power and agency in Brontë’s work, drawing out the intricate, shifting, and often unexpected dynamics that underlie what can seem like stark, gender-based power differentials between her characters. While there is a long critical history of examining how erotic relationships

Abstract:

This thesis contends that while Charlotte Brontë’s novels are not typically associated with humour, they are nonetheless centrally concerned with the politics of laughter. I investigate Brontë’s serious and sustained use of laughter imagery to challenge cultural constructions of femininity and subvert the gendering of rationality and emotion. In doing so I highlight how laughter’s capacity to tyrannise or marginalise underpins her disquiet about men’s abuse of power, and shapes her concern with the experience of the social outsider.

This thesis seeks to show the ways in which Charlotte Brontë's fiction anticipates the concerns of contemporary feminist theology. Whilst Charlotte Brontë's novels have held a place of honor in feminist literary criticism for decades, there has been a critical tendency to associate the proto-feminism of Brontë's narratives with a rejection of Christianity—namely, that Brontë's heroines achieve their personal, social and spiritual emancipation by throwing off the shackles of a patriarchal Church Establishment.

Brontë’s letter shows that she feared both pity and condemnation. She struggled to attend to the imaginative world that brought her pleasure and to fulfill her duties in the real world so as to avoid its contempt. Brontë’s early correspondence attests to her e

In this essay, I will argue that looking at translation and multilingualism both as a mode of storytelling and as a theme of Brontë's second published novel Shirley can help to uncover previously untapped moments of connection and understanding in the novel.

It is an ambitious, over-reaching goal, which Brontë did not ultimately attain. Yet, for Brontë, her (especially female) characters,

Abstract:

Un tour d'horizon de l'étendue de la diffusion de Jane Eyre et de Wuthering Heights et de la qualité de leur réception à l'échelle mondiale de 1847 à 1969, une approche de l'imagination et de la sensibilité de leurs auteurs dans le cadre de l'évolution du roman féminin et de la société au début de l'ère victorienne ont été nécessaires pour mieux comprendre leur présence à Madagascar et les éventuelles réactions de leurs lectrices dans cette partie du monde. Il est alors apparu que ceci est fonction des thèmes qui y sont développés. Touchant la femme, ses aspirations amoureuses, ses fonctions,

Abstract:

This thesis is a study of the presentation of the orphan child in eighteenth and early nineteenth century English literature, and focuses on William Blake's Songs of Innocence and Experience, Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, and Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights. It is concerned with assessing the extent to which the orphan children in each of the works are liberated from familial and social constraints and structures and to what end. Chapter One examines the major thematic concern of the extent to which the motif of the orphan child represents a wronged innocent, and whether this symbol can also,

Abstract:

The Victorian governess occupied a difficult position in Victorian society. Straddling the line between genteel and working-class femininity, the governess did not fit neatly into the rigid categories of gender and class according to which Victorian society organized itself. This troubling liminality caused the governess to become implicitly associated with another disturbing domestic presence caught between worlds: the Victorian literary ghost. Using Henry James’s novella The Turn of the Screw as a touchstone for each chapter, this thesis examines how the spectral mirrors the governess’s

Abstract:

This thesis examines four translations and retranslations of novels by British female writers. They are Elizabeth Gaskell’s Cranford, Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, George Eliot’s Silas Marner, and Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre. The translations and retranslations, eight target texts in total, are mapped onto the sociopolitical and sociocultural milieu of China from the late 1920s to 1930s. During the span of time when the eight translations were published, China was undergoing a special period of political turbulence intertwined with literary vibrancy.

Abstract:

My dissertation, Understanding the Gray:Aging Women in Victorian Culture and Fiction, explores the cultural construction of aging for middle-class Victorian women and how aging was experienced and then depicted within novels. Chiefly, I work from midcentury to the end of the century in order to understand the experience of aging and ways women were ascribed age due to their position in society as spinsters, mothers, and progressive women. I explore how the age of fictional women reflects and contributes to critical debates concerning how Victorian women were expected to behave. Debates over se

Abstract:

This essay analyses and compares gender construction in Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë and Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. The focus is on the construction of the female and male gender of selected female and male characters. Using the knowledge that gender is highly dependent on the social and cultural environment and that family relations often impact gender, the aim of the essay is to examine if the two authors use similar methods to construct gender. Additionally, the aim is to analyse if the novels are critical towards Victorian gender norms. As feminist criticism specializes in gender

Abstract:

Cette thèse analyse les notions dialectiques incarnées dans Jane Eyre et dans Wuthering Heights afin d’éclairer les phénomènes dialectiques littéraires, sociopolitiques, et/ou subjectifs présents dans les deux romans. Le mot “dialectique,” approprié dans cette recherche, porte au moins trois connotations: étymologique, marxiste et kristévane. D’abord, la perspective dialectique est appelée à analyser les formes littéraires rivales, le romantisme rémanent et le victorianisme dominant, qui convergent vers la grande ligne de démarcation poétique dans les deux romans.

Abstract:

This is a comparative analysis of two film adaptations (from 1943 and 2011) of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, with a focus on the male characters. My aim is to study how patriarchal control is adapted for the screen, compared to the original novel. The focus is on the characters John Reed, Mr. Brocklehurst, Mr. Rochester and St. John Rivers. The analysis is about how the filmmakers depict the essence of the characters, why they chose to do so and what determinants influenced the two films; furthermore, how this affects Jane’s character and her pursuit for independence.
