Jane Eyre's Fairytale Legacy at Home and Abroad

Constructions and Deconstructions of National Identity

Beschreibung

Exploring the literary microcosm inspired by Brontë's debut novel, Jane Eyre's Fairytale Legacy at Home and Abroad focuses on the nationalistic stakes of the mythic and fairytale paradigms that were incorporated into the heroic female bildungsroman tradition. She contrasts novels by women writers such as Susan Warner and L.M. Montgomery with Hannah Crafts's Bondswoman's Narrative, arguing that Brontë's American readers projected the self-rise ethic onto Jane Eyre, miring the novel in nineteenth-century narratives of American identity formation.
