- W2329736264 abstract "The metaphor of the author as a speaker, as one who must seek to find his or her in writing, is a truism of the creative writing workshop, so thoroughly naturalized by now as to seem timeless. The origins of this metaphor, however-at least as applied to the novel, that thoroughly un-lyrical genre-can be found in the emergence in the early Victorian period of new practices of authorship. In performing authorship on stage in the 1840s and 50s, such novelists as Thackeray and Dickens associated their writing with presence and speech and forged a metaphorical connection between words on the page and an author's speaking body. This essay argues that Charlotte Bronte's work evaded the new imperative to make fiction speak. Indeed, her writing implicitly argues that the gendered construction of this imperative would force women writers to embody and vocalize their writing just where disembodiment might best serve their interests.1 Through a reading of Bronte's Jane Eyre and Villette, I will argue that Bronte resists the equation of novel-writing with speech in order to develop a more effective means by which women writers might participate in the public print sphere and attain the full reward of professional success in its terms. I also want to suggest that it is an irony of literary-critical history that the very link between writing and speech that Bronte resisted as an unwanted imposition of masculine authorship has become a tenet of modem liberal feminism. Bronte herself worked to disassociate her work from a Victorian mythology of vocal writing, yet a certain tradition of feminist criticism has adapted that myth for its own purposes and turned Bronte into the model of a female author who triumphantly finds her own in writing. I argue, against such readings, that Bronte rejects a model of authorship based on voice and embodied personality in favor of one based on the material possibilities of print.2 But I do not wish to be misunderstood as locating Bronte," @default.
