HENA03827U English - Free topic: The Writings of the Brontë Sisters
Volume 2014/2015
Content
This course will partly
offer an opportunity to read and discuss most of the major novels
by the three Brontë sisters, but it is also intended as a pretext
for discussing such pertinent Victorian issues as professions for
women, women writers, women readers, tuberculosis, mental disease
and spiritual hauntings. The private lives of the Brontës soon
became inexctricable from their works, and we shall examine the
contemporary reception of the novels, together with the extensive
myth-making which began shortly after the death of Charlotte Brontë
in 1855.
