The Brontës in Context
Author: Marianne Thormählen
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139851179
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 425
Book Description
Very few families produce one outstanding writer. The Brontë family produced three. The works of Charlotte, Emily and Anne remain immensely popular, and are increasingly being studied in relation to the surroundings and wider context that formed them. The forty-two new essays in this book tell 'the Brontë story' as it has never been told before, drawing on the latest research and the best available scholarship while offering new perspectives on the writings of the sisters. A section on Brontë criticism traces their reception to the present day. The works of the sisters are explored in the context of social, political and cultural developments in early-nineteenth-century Britain, with attention given to religion, education, art, print culture, agriculture, law and medicine. Crammed with information, The Brontës in Context shows how the Brontës' fiction interacts with the spirit of the time, suggesting reasons for its enduring fascination.

Making British Culture
Author: David Allan
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 113589504X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
Making British Culture explores an under-appreciated factor in the emergence of a recognisably British culture. Specifically, it examines the experiences of English readers between around 1707 and 1830 as they grappled, in a variety of circumstances, with the great effusion of Scottish authorship – including the hard-edged intellectual achievements of David Hume, Adam Smith and William Robertson as well as the more accessible contributions of poets like Robert Burns and Walter Scott – that distinguished the age of the Enlightenment.

Pages : 304
Book Description
Reading was one of Georgian England's defining obsessions. This book argues that the proliferation of library facilities greatly extended the quantity and diversity of texts available. It suggests that the resulting circulation of books on a previously unimaginable scale made possible the creation of a substantial and broadly based reading public.
