Jane Eyre

Jane Eyre

Charlotte Bronte

Signet Classics
2008
nidottu
Charlotte Bront 's romantic gothic novel, featuring one of literature's most memorable heroines. With her 1847 novel, Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bront created one of the most unforgettable heroines of all time. Jane Eyre is an orphan, penniless and plain, but full of courage and spirit. She has endured incredible hardship to secure her humble status as a governess in the household of her brooding employer, Mr. Rochester. Jane's sharp wit and defiant nature meet with Rochester's sardonic temperament. The two become enmeshed in a deep, intense bond. But Rochester has a terrible secret--a remnant from his past that could threaten any hope of happiness with his only love. An unconventional love story that broadened the scope of romantic fiction, Jane Eyre is ultimately the tale of one woman's fight to claim her independence and self-respect in a society that has no place for her. With an Introduction by Erica Jong and an Afterword by Marcelle Clements

Jane Cooper

Jane Cooper

Martha Collins; Celia Bland

The University of Michigan Press
2019
nidottu
For her five volumes of poetry over the course of her career, Jane Cooper (1924–2007) was deeply admired by her contemporaries, and teaching at Sarah Lawrence College for nearly forty years, she served as a mentor to many aspiring poets. Her elegant, honest, and emotionally and formally precise poems, often addressing the challenges of women’s lives—especially the lives of women in the arts—continue to resonate with a new generation of readers. Martha Collins and Celia Bland bring together several decades’ worth of essential writing on Cooper’s poetry. While some pieces offer close examination of Cooper’s process or thoughtful consideration of the craft of a single poem, the volume also features reviews of her collections, including a previously unpublished piece on her first book, The Weather of Six Mornings (1969), by James Wright, a lifelong champion of her work. Marie Howe, Jan Heller Levi, and Thomas Lux, among others, share personal remembrances of Cooper as a teacher, colleague, and inspiration. L. R. Berger’s moving tribute to Cooper’s final days closes the volume. This book has much to offer for both readers who already love Cooper’s work and new readers, especially among younger poets, just discovering her enduring poems.

Jane Austen and the French Revolution

Jane Austen and the French Revolution

Warren Roberts

Continuum International Publishing Group Ltd.
2000
pokkari
In this book, Warren Roberts argues that Jane Austen was very much aware of the French Revolution and its Reign of Terror, of the Revolution's impact on British society, and of England's long and bitter military struggle with France. She not only knew about, but was profoundly affected by, the events of her day, in both her thinking and writing. Raised in the collective security of the 18th century, she tried to remain aloof from the new forces that disrupted the contours of her world, but when revising "Sense and Sensibility" and "Pride and Prejudice", and even more when writing "Mansfield Park", she became involved in the most pressing of contemporary issues. In addressing herself to those issues, she revealed her own stand on such areas of British life as politics, war, religion and feminism, all of which were deeply influenced by the French Revolution. Her novels show her attitude to many key issues, and they provide a record of the Revolutionary experience. The author previous publications include: "Morality and Social Class in Eighteenth-Century French Literature and Painting" (1974) and "Jacques-Louis David, Revolutionary Artist" (1989).

Jane Austen and the Interplay of Character

Jane Austen and the Interplay of Character

Ivor Morris

Continuum International Publishing Group Ltd.
1998
pokkari
The unique force of Jane Austen's novels lies in the interplay of her characters. Nothing much happens, on the surface; but, as in life, minor shifts and changes evoke enormous consequences in the lives of individuals. In this stimulating book, Ivor Morris anatomises one of her best-loved characters, Mr Collins: "conceited, pompous, narrow-minded, silly". His obsequious flatteries, parading self-approval, witless blunderings and hapless endeavours in romance have delighted generations of readers. By focusing on this entertaining figure, Ivor Morris has produced that rare thing - a seriously analytical and genuinely amusing study. Ivor Morris has also published on Elizabethan drama and elsewhere on Austen.

Designs include an evening bag, a muslin shawl, an apron, a floral napkin set and tablecloth, and other pretty and practical items with timeless appeal. These authentic patterns -- many of which have not been reprinted in more than 200 years--are enlivened by vivid glimpses into the world of Regency women and their domestic lives. Fascinating historical features, quotes from Austen's letters and novels, enchanting drawings, clear instructions, and inspirational project photography trace the patterns' origins and illustrate their imaginative restoration for modern use.

Jane Austen's The History of England

Jane Austen's The History of England

Jane Austen

DOVER PUBLICATIONS INC.
2023
nidottu
The author of one of the greatest romance novels of all time, Pride and Prejudice, takes her readers on a satiric tour through England's history, mercilessly exploiting the comedic potential of human foibles within British royalty. Part of Jane Austen's Juvenilia of the 1790s, The History of England was written during the author's teenage years. Filled with puns and parodies, the history begins with the reign of Henry IV and concludes with the death of Charles I more than two centuries later. Originally intending it for circulation and performance among family and friends, Jane also commissioned her sister Cassandra to draw illustrations to complement her signature wit and humor. This volume includes an informative introduction providing background context, along with extensive editorial commentary. Austen fans and history buffs are sure to delight in this history written by "a partial, prejudiced, and ignorant historian."

David Nokes

University of California Press
1998

In this new biography of Jane Austen, David Nokes plays master sleuth and storyteller in presenting the great novelist 'not in the modest pose which her family determined for her, but rather, as she most frequently presented herself, as rebellious, satirical, and wild'.

Jane Austen and the Fiction of her Time

Jane Austen and the Fiction of her Time

Waldron Mary

Cambridge University Press
2001
pokkari
This book presents Jane Austen as a radical innovator. It explores the nature of her confrontation with the popular novelists of her time, and demonstrates how her challenge to them transformed fiction. It is evident from letters and other sources, as well as the novels themselves, that the Austen family developed a strong scepticism about contemporary notions of the proper content and purpose of fiction. Austen’s own writing can be seen as a conscious demonstration of these disagreements. In thus identifying her literary motivation, this book (moving away from the questions of ideology which have so dominated Austen studies in this century) offers a unifying critique of the novels and helps to explain their unequalled durability with the reading public.

Jane Austen and the Theatre

Jane Austen and the Theatre

Gay Penny

Cambridge University Press
2006
pokkari
Jane Austen was fascinated by theatre from her childhood. As an adult she went to the theatre whenever opportunity arose. Scenes in her novels often resemble plays, and recent film and television versions have shown how naturally dramatic her stories are. Yet the myth remains that she was 'anti-theatrical', and readers continue to puzzle about the real significance of the theatricals in Mansfield Park. Penny Gay's book describes for the first time the rich theatrical context of Austen's writing, and the intersections between her novels and contemporary drama. Gay proposes a 'dialogue' in Austen's mature novels with the various genres of eighteenth-century drama - laughing comedy, sentimental comedy and tragedy, Gothic theatre, early melodrama. She re reads the novels in the light of this dialogue to demonstrate Austen's analysis of the pervasive theatricality of the society in which her heroines must perform.

Jane Austen and the Body

Jane Austen and the Body

John Wiltshire

Cambridge University Press
2006
pokkari
Jane Austen has been read as a novelist of manners, whose work discreetly avoids discussing the physical. John Wiltshire shows, on the contrary, how important are faces and bodies in her texts, from complainers and invalids like Mrs Bennet and Mr Woodhouse, to the frail, debilitated Fanny Price, the vulnerable Jane Fairfax, and the 'picture of health', Emma. Talk about health and illness in the novels is abundant, and constitutes community, but it also serves to disguise the operation of social and gender politics. Behind the medical paraphernalia and incidents are serious concerns with the nature of power as exerted through and on the body, and with the manifold meanings of illness. 'Nerves', 'spirits', and sensibility figure largely in these books, and Jane Austen is seen to offer a critique of the gendering power of illness and nursing or attendance upon illness. Drawing both on modern - medical and feminist - theories of illness and the body as well as on eighteenth-century medical sources to illuminate the novels, this book offers new and controversial, but also scholarly, readings of these familiar texts.

Jane Austen and her Predecessors

Jane Austen and her Predecessors

Bradbrook Frank W.

Cambridge University Press
1966
sidottu
This is a study of influences on Jane Austen's art and views of life. She assimilated and transformed certain writings of earlier essayists and novelists; she was herself a potent influence. Dr Bradbrook provides the literary critic with a fresh position from which to inspect the novels. He isolates several kinds of influence that had affect on Jane, which he inspects one by one. First there are the periodical essayists, the moralists in prose and the writers of conduct books. These were sources of general reflections on moral and social behaviour: and especially interesting to Jane Austen when they touched on the position of women. Dr Bradbrook sketches her knowledge of and taste in the drama and poetry of the eighteenth century. In the second half of the book Dr Bradbrook analyses the influence that earlier novelists had on Jane Austen. Useful appendices reproduce some of the rarer sources.
