Jane Eyre's Fairytale Legacy at Home and Abroad Constructions and Deconstructions of National Identity

Jane Eyre's Fairytale Legacy at Home and Abroad Constructions and Deconstructions of National Identity

Exploring the literary microcosm inspired by Brontë's debut novel Jane Eyre's Fairytale Legacy at Home and Abroad focuses on the nationalistic stakes of the mythic and fairytale paradigms that were incorporated into the heroic female bildungsroman tradition. Jane Eyre Abigail Heiniger argues is a heroic changeling indebted to the regional pre-Victorian fairy lore Charlotte Brontë heard and read in Haworth an influence that Brontë repudiates in her last novel Villette. While this heroic figure inspired a range of female writers on both sides of the Atlantic Heiniger suggests that the regional aspects of the changeling were especially attractive to North American writers such as Susan Warner and L. M. Montgomery who responded to Jane Eyre as part of the Cinderella tradition. Heiniger contrasts the reactions of these white women writers with that of Hannah Crafts whose Jane Eyre-influenced The Bondwoman's Narrative rejects the Cinderella model. Instead Heiniger shows Crafts creates a heroic female bildungsroman that critiques fairytale narratives from the viewpoint of the obscure oppressed workers who remain forever outside the tales of wonder produced for middle-class consumption. Heiniger concludes by demonstrating how Brontë's middle-class American readers projected the self-rise ethic onto Jane Eyre miring the novel in nineteenth-century narratives of American identity formation. | Jane Eyre's Fairytale Legacy at Home and Abroad Constructions and Deconstructions of National Identity

Jane Austen A Style in History

Jane Austen A Style in History

From 1809 until just before her death Jane Austen lived in a small all-female household at Chawton where reading aloud was the evening's entertainment and a crucial factor in the way Austen formed and modified her writing. This book looks in detail at Jane Austen's style. It discusses her characteristic abstract vocabulary her adaptations of Johnsonian syntax and how she came to make her most important contribution to the technique of fiction free indirect discourse. The book draws extensively on historical sources especially the work of writers like Johnson Hugh Blair and Thomas Sheridan and analyses how Austen negotiated her path between the fundamentally masculine concerns of eighteenth-century prescriptivists and her own situation of a female writer reading her work aloud to a female audience. | Jane Austen A Style in History

Character and Conflict in Jane Austen's Novels A Psychological Approach

Character and Conflict in Jane Austen's Novels A Psychological Approach

In Character and Conflict in Jane Austen's Novels Bernard J. Paris offers an analysis of the protagonists in four of Jane Austen's most popular novels. His analysis reveals them to be brilliant mimetic creations who often break free of the formal and thematic limitations placed upon them by Austen. Paris traces the powerful tensions between form theme and mimesis in Mansfield Park Emma Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion. Paris uses Northrop Frye's theory of comic forms to analyze and describe the formal structure of the novels and Karen Horney's psychological theories to explore the personalities and inner conflicts of the main characters. The concluding chapter turns from the characters to their creator employing the Horneyan categories of self-effacing detached and expansive personality types to interpret Jane Austen's own personality. Readers of Jane Austen will find much that is new and challenging in this study. It is one of the few books to recognize and pay tribute to Jane Austen's genius in characterization. Anyone who reads this book will come away with a new understanding of Austen's heroines as imagined human beings and also with a deeper feeling for the troubled humanity of the author herself. | Character and Conflict in Jane Austen's Novels A Psychological Approach
