Klappentext zu „Charlotte Brontë, Embodiment and the Material World “
Comprising nine original essays by specialists in material culture, book history,
literary criticism and curatorial and archival studies, this co-edited volume
addresses a wide range of Brontë's writing-from vignettes composed during her
teenage years ("The Tea Party" and "The Secret") to completed novels (The
Professor, Jane Eyre, Shirley and Villette) and unfinished works ("Ashworth" and
"Emma"). In bringing to life the surprising array of embodied experiences that
shaped Brontë's creative practice (from writing to book-making, painting, and
drawing), Charlotte Brontë, Embodiment and the Material World forges new
connections between historical, material, and textual approaches to the author's
work.
