- W2948077656 abstract "Violence is often associated with Anne, Charlotte, and Emily Bronte’s writing, yet there remains no in-depth, sustained analysis of its nature, form, and significance in and of itself within their work. This thesis addresses this gap by foregrounding the violences of the Brontes’ writing and connecting their representations of violence to wider nineteenth-century conversations and attitudes. Far from being a straightforward or self-evident aspect of their poetry and prose, this thesis shows that violence is a prevalent, complex, and often transformational force within their writing, intersecting with historical and ongoing issues of language, gender, politics, religion, and the ethics of writing (about) violence.Chapter One considers the language of violence in Emily Bronte’s selected poetry and Wuthering Heights (1847), and identifies the mediated, often unseen yet still pervasive nature of violence within her writing. Chapter Two situates Charlotte Bronte’s selected juvenilia and Shirley (1849) in relation to nineteenth-century articulations of political violence, including terrorism and questions of legitimacy. Chapter Three explores the frequently overlooked moment in Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre (1847) when Rochester threatens Jane with rape, while also seeking to uncover – and, in the process, problematising the desire to uncover – seemingly implicit references to sexual and gendered violence in Anne Bronte’s The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (1848). Chapter Four examines the use of biblical sources to sanctify acts of violence in Anne Bronte’s Agnes Grey (1847), followed by an exploration of Charlotte Bronte’s representations of extreme psychological pain through biblical imagery in Villette (1853). The Afterword considers the legacy of violence in the Brontes’ cultural afterlives, identifying a shift in perceptions of the Brontes’ literary violences: from an integral force in the development of their work, but one from which they should be distanced, to a seemingly surprising aspect of their writing which should be reinstated and, even, celebrated." @default.
