In addition to providing an exciting new reading of Charlotte
Bronte's classic, Jane Eyre, the book's methodology includes close
reading a range of archival and underexamined published sources,
providing readers with new understandings of Bronte's work and
contexts. The book's range enables a story to be told about the
enduring influence of the phenomenon of the female missionary on
women biographers in the early decades of the nineteenth century,
on famous women writers such as Elizabeth Gaskell and Olive
Schreiner, and on women's college culture at the turn of the
century. In unearthing important historical information on the
representation of the female missionary, the book provides a
valuable introduction to the under-explored topic of
nineteenth-century missionary women, enriching knowledge of the
period and opening up new areas for research. For the first time,
this book explores literary representations of the
nineteenth-century female missionary in the context of the new
imperial history as well as histories of gender and religion. The
book's challenge of an easy linear relationship between religion
and gender, and between the domestic and missionary female
represents a significant contribution to studies of
nineteenth-century literature, gender and religion.
