"Wuthering Heights "and "Jane Eyre "have remained continuously
popular ever since their 1847 publication. Though their lives were
tragically short, Charlotte and Emily Bront DEGREESDe made
significant contributions to the history of the novel as a
respected literary form. This Student Companion offers an absorbing
biographical account of the Bront DEGREESDe sisters' upbringing,
tracing the familial and personal influences that shaped their
intellectual lives. A literary heritage chapter also helps students
grasp the importance of the sisters' literary accomplishments. A
thorough, clear critical analysis is provided for each novel,
including sections on plot, character development, thematic issues,
literary devices and craft, and the historical/social-cultural
context of each work. In addition to "Wuthering Heights "and "Jane
Eyre, " original analysis is also given for "Shirley" (1849),"
Villette "(1853"), "and" The Professor" (1857), Charlotte's first
written but posthumously published novel.
Five different contemporary literary theories--Marxist,
Freudian, Jungian, Postcolonial, and Feminist--are included in the
analysis and are discussed and applied to the novels. Difficult
concepts are clearly explained, in non-academic prose. In-depth
historical information not usually found in books about the Bront
DEGREESDes is included, such as Belgian history, which is important
in understanding "Villette "and" The Professor." Clear writing and
additional background information make this book a good choice for
non-specialists, including students and general readers. An
up-to-date bibliography includes the most recently published books
and articles in Bront DEGREESDe studies.
