Lynne Tatlock examines the transmission, diffusion, and literary
survival of Jane Eyre in the German-speaking territories and the
significance and effects thereof, 1848-1918. Engaging with
scholarship on the romance novel, she presents an historical case
study of the generative power and protean nature of Brontë’s new
romance narrative in German translation, adaptation, and imitation
as it involved multiple agents, from writers and playwrights to
readers, publishers, illustrators, reviewers, editors, adaptors,
and translators. Jane Eyre in German Lands traces the ramifications
in the paths of transfer that testify to widespread creative
investment in romance as new ideas of women’s freedom and
equality topped the horizon and sought a home, especially in the
middle classes. As Tatlock outlines, the multiple German
instantiations of Brontë’s novel—four translations, three
abridgments, three adaptations for general readers, nine
adaptations for younger readers, plays, farces, and particularly
the fiction of the popular German writer E. Marlitt and its many
adaptations—evince a struggle over its meaning and promise. Yet
precisely this multiplicity (repetition, redundancy, and
proliferation) combined with the romance narrative’s intrinsic
appeal in the decades between the March Revolutions and women’s
franchise enabled the cultural diffusion, impact, and long-term
survival of Jane Eyre as German reading. Though its focus on the
circulation of texts across linguistic boundaries and intertwined
literary markets and reading cultures, Jane Eyre in German Lands
unsettles the national paradigm of literary history and makes a
case for a fuller and inclusive account of the German literary
field.
