What does it mean to be human? The Bronte novels and poetry are
fascinated by what lies at the core - and limits - of the human.
The Brontes and the Idea of the Human presents a significant
re-evaluation of how Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Bronte each
responded to scientific, legal, political, theological, literary,
and cultural concerns in ways that redraw the boundaries of the
human for the nineteenth century. Proposing innovative modes of
approach for the twenty-first century, leading scholars shed light
on the relationship between the role of the imagination and new
definitions of the human subject. This important interdisciplinary
study scrutinises the notion of the embodied human and moves beyond
it to explore the force and potential of the mental and imaginative
powers for constructions of selfhood, community, spirituality,
degradation, cruelty, and ethical behaviour in the nineteenth
century and its fictional worlds.
