Download or read book The Colonial Rise of the Novel written by Firdous Azim and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-03-11 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this challening book, Firdous Azim, provides a feminist critique of orthodox accounts of the `rise of the novel' and exposes the underlying orientalist assumptions of the early English novel. Whereas previous studies have emphasized the universality of the coherent and consistent subject which found expression in the novels of the eighteenth century, Azim demonstrtes how certain categories: women and people of colour, were silenced and excluded. The Colonial Rise of the Novel makes an important and provocative contribution to post-colonial and feminist criticism. It will be essential reading for all teachers and students of English literature, women's studies, and post-colonial criticism.

It offers readers a comprehensive insight into the literary context of the 19th-century Victorian era, emphasizing the radical and enduring significance of the Brontës' works. The authors hail from a close-knit family background, which deeply influenced their literary creations. Each sister, despite leading a relatively isolated existence, brought forth novels that have since become classics, aligning with and contributing to critical literary movements such as Romanticism and Victorian realism. Together, they challenged contemporary notions of gender, class, and the novel form itself, creating a legacy that continues to inspire and provoke. 'The Complete Works of the Brontë Family' presents an unparalleled opportunity to immerse oneself in the rich tapestry of Brontë literature.

Download or read book Eros and Psyche Routledge Revivals written by Karen Chase and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does Victorian fiction represent personality? How does it express emotion and how does it imagine the mind? These questions stand at the centre of Eros and Psyche, first published in 1984. In examining how three authors – Charlotte Brontë, Charles Dickens and George Eliot – depict the mind and organise emotion, Chase approaches their works as expressive structures, and analyses their struggle to accommodate rival imperatives in depicting personality: desire and duty, guilt and innocence, love and autonomy. The title begins with Brontë’s early Angrian tales, which introduce the problem that unifies the book: the attempt of Victorian fiction to escape the constraints of the romance mode, while assimilating its energies. There follow readings of The Pickwick Papers, Jane Eyre, Bleak House, and Middlemarch, in the light of such problems as confinement and exposure in Brontë, tragic doubt in Dickens, and the image of the moral mind in George Eliot.
Download or read book Home and Away written by David Owen and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-02-08 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Home and Away: The Place of the Child Writer is an important contribution to the fast-growing and rapidly evolving field of literary juvenilia studies. This collection of essays by fifteen scholars is the first in this area to be published in the past decade. To reflect recent developments, Home and Away both theorises the current state of this richly interdisciplinary academic field and exemplifies juvenilia studies in action. An authoritative review of the origins and future of literary juvenilia studies is followed by a collection of essays on individual authors. Wide-ranging in literary periods covered, geographical regions represented, and methodological approaches employed, the collection is organized around the basic tenet that the familiar world of home and the as–yet–untravelled territory of adulthood are both important to the imaginations of juvenile authors. The relationships and values of the parental home, the topography of the home place, the literature and lives that first fired their imaginations as children, find expression in young writers’ works. So too do the unfamiliar or extra-familiar connections, lifestyles, landscapes, and literature that the child writer anticipates, imagines, or invents, whether as a means of temporary escape while still at home, or as a process of preparing for adulthood and artistic maturity.
Download or read book The Complete Works Charlotte Emily Anne Patrick Branwell Bront written by Charlotte Brontë and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-11-28 with total page 3737 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'The Complete Works: Charlotte, Emily, Anne, Patrick & Branwell Brontë,' readers are presented with a breathtaking panorama of nineteenth-century literary artistry. This collection transcends mere anthology, weaving together the distinct yet harmoniously interconnected oeuvres of the Brontë family. With a range that spans from the windswept moors of 'Wuthering Heights' to the subdued, fiery passions of 'Jane Eyre,' and the less traversed but equally compelling works of Anne and Patrick Brontë, alongside Branwell's artistic contributions, the anthology showcases a remarkable diversity of style and theme. Such an assembly underlines the profound impact these authors have had on English literature and the Gothic Romantic genre in particular. The second paragraph delves into the unique literary heritage of the Brontë siblings, shaped amidst the isolation of the Yorkshire moors. Their writings, a product of intense creativity and intellectual discourse within their secluded home, emerged against a backdrop of Victorian constraints and personal tragedies. This collection, therefore, does not merely collate texts; it maps the convergence of individual genius with shared familial and historical influences, underscoring the Brontës' collective role in championing new literary forms and depths of psychological insight. For enthusiasts and scholars alike, 'The Complete Works' offers a singular opportunity to engage with the full spectrum of Brontë genius. It invites a deep, comparative appreciation of how these authors' contrasting approaches to narrative, character, and theme reflect the complexity of human experience. This anthology is not just a comprehensive collection; it is an invitation to explore the rich dialogues between the works of Charlotte, Emily, Anne, Patrick, and Branwell Brontë, fostering a deeper understanding of their individual and collective literary achievements.

This book was released on 2013-02-18 with total page 3952 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ebook edition contains the unabridged and complete works of the Brontë Family (Anne, Charlotte, Emily, Branwell and Patrick Brontë) with a detailed and functional table of contents. The Brontës were a nineteenth-century literary family associated with the village of Haworth in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England. The sisters, Charlotte (born 21 April 1816, in Thornton near Bradford), Emily (born 30 July 1818 in Thornton), and Anne (born 17 January 1820 in Thornton), are well known as poets and novelists. They originally published their poems and novels under masculine pseudonyms, following the custom of the times practised by female writers. Their stories immediately attracted attention, although not always the best, for their passion and originality. Charlotte's Jane Eyre was the first to know success, while Emily's Wuthering Heights, Anne's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and other works were later to be accepted as masterpieces of literature. The three sisters and their brother, Branwell, were very close and they developed their childhood imaginations through the collaborative writing of increasingly complex stories. The confrontation with the deaths first of their mother then of their two older sisters marked them profoundly and influenced their writing. Their fame was due as much to their own tragic destinies as to their precociousness. Since their early deaths, and then the death of their father in 1861, they were subject to a following that did not cease to grow. Their home, the parsonage at Haworth in Yorkshire, now the Brontë Parsonage Museum, has become a place of pilgrimage for hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.

Download or read book Charlotte Bront s World of Death written by Robert Keefe and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-07-03 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the age of eight, Charlotte Brontë had lost first her mother and then her two older sisters. Later, in a second wave of deaths, her brother and two younger sisters died, leaving her a sole survivor. With subtlety and imagination, Robert Keefe examines Brontë’s works as the creative response to these losses, particularly the loss of her mother. Terrified and yet fascinated by death, struggling with guilt, remorse, and a deep sense of rejection, Charlotte Brontë found in art a way to come to terms with death through its symbolic reenactment. In her earlier writings she created a fictional world marked by devices that allow her to control or deny death. In her later works these mechanisms evolved into mature expressions of a profound psychological reality. Brontë’s preoccupation with death is seen in her fiction in the recurring patterns of separation and exile. Keefe traces the development of these motifs in the juvenilia and the four novels: The Professor, Jane Eyre, Shirley, and Villette. Unique in its emphasis on the maternal relationships in Brontë’s life and art, this study also explores certain aspects of her life that have often puzzled biographers.
