ENGL 3430
The Brontës

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2016-2017.

Sheltered daughters of an Irish clergyman, isolated in a remote village in England, the Brontë sisters produced some of the most violent, shocking, sophisticated, and popular fiction of the nineteenth century. Their works and lives sparked so much interest from their own time to ours that every generation of readers has had something to say, including cartoonists and film directors. We will read novels by the three sisters (including Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, and Villette) alongside Elizabeth Gaskell's Life of Charlotte Brontë, the first contemporary biography of a woman writer. We will also watch film versions, read nineteenth-century reviews, recent biographies, and critical essays from a variety theoretical perspectives.

When Offered Spring.
