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