{"product_id":"violence-and-the-brontzs-language-reception-afterlives-9781399523004","title":"Violence and the Brontës: Language, Reception, Afterlives","description":"The well-known and well-loved writings of Anne, Charlotte and Emily Brontë are full of violence. From the many battles waged in their early writings to the violent emotions and threats expressed in their published novels, the Brontës' representations of brutality shocked Victorian reviewers and continue to surprise readers in the twenty-first century. \u003ci\u003eViolence and the Brontës \u003c\/i\u003eaccounts for such intense reactions by reading the sisters' literary violences as transformational, encompassing harm, pain and suffering while at times also signalling creativity and even renewal. Through a new reading of the Brontës' major works, as well as film, stage and television adaptations, this book argues that violence is at the centre of the Brontës' imaginative engagements with nineteenth-century life. In the process, it demonstrates how violence continues to be vital to interpreting the Brontës' reception history and afterlives in modern culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFranklin, Sophie:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Sophie Franklin is a DOROTHY MSCA COFUND Postdoctoral Researcher at University College Dublin.
