Content:
Selected by Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title Janet Gezari reassesses Charlotte Bronte's achievement by showing the ways in which an embodied defensiveness is central to both the novels and their author's life. Gezari seeks to revise our sense of Bronte's life by turning attention from its familiar romantic circumstances to its less familiar practical circumstances. They reveal a woman more embattled, contentious, and resilient, though no less passionate, than the more familiar trembling soul.
