Heather Glen

Charlotte Bronte

The Imagination in History

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This stimulating study considers how Charlotte Bronte's writings engage with a whole range of issues in their time. Through a series of new readings of ostensibly well-known texts, Heather Glen reveals a Charlotte Bronte more alert to her historical moment and far more aesthetically sophisticated than she has usually been taken to be.
