Three sisters from a remote Yorkshire village managed to change English Literature in the mid-19th century. This course will examine the contexts of their writings in terms of historical and literary developments, analyse three selected novels (two famous ones, one lesser known example) in terms of structure, characterisation, and style, and ask which ideologies of their time the writers addressed and how. The novels to be read are
Emily Brontë (1847/2009): Wuthering Heights. New edition. Oxford World's Classics. Ed. Ian Jack and Helen Small. Oxford et. al.: Oxford University Press. Print.
Charlotte Brontë (1847/2019): Jane Eyre. 3rd edition. Oxford World's Classics. Ed. Juliette Atkinson and Margaret Smith. Oxford et. al.: Oxford University Press. Print.
Anne Brontë (1848/2008): The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. New Edition. Oxford World's Classics. Ed. Herbert Rosengarten and Josephine McDonagh. Oxford et. al.: Oxford University Press. Print.
