For the next hundred years, it was accepted that she was a pale second-rater in relation to her sisters. That image has now been discarded; but the notion that Anne Brontë was not quite her sisters’ equal as a literary artist lingers, influenced by the resistance of recent generations of critics to what they perceive as moral messages in literature. This keynote address argues that Anne Brontë the novelist was in no way inferior to Charlotte and Emily as a writer of fiction. It draws attention to the skills displayed by Anne Brontë in respect of characterisation, realistic observation, psychological acumen, style and idiom, nuance in the analysis of human behaviour and even – somewhat unexpectedly, given the frequently expressed criticisms of the construction of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (1848) – narrative structure. The discussion ends with a tribute to Anne Brontë’s success in making readers keep turning the pages.","PeriodicalId":42344,"journal":{"name":"Bronte Studies","volume":"48 1","pages":"282 - 295"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49180853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article examines the afterlife of Brontë’s feminism in Sam Baker’s The Woman Who Ran (2016), a neo-Victorian domestic noir thriller which re(dis)covers and repurposes Brontë’s novel for contemporary women readers. Baker uncovers the ongoing crisis of domestic violence and sexism in professional spheres that persist despite the progress achieved by Western feminist movements to secure women’s rights in the last century. We argue that The Woman Who Ran demonstrates just how generative Anne Brontë’s writing remains for conceptualising feminist issues in the twenty-first century.","PeriodicalId":42344,"journal":{"name":"Bronte Studies","volume":"48 1","pages":"324 - 335"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59903986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article suggests the notion of Brontë as a figure of curation, in acknowledging Charlotte Brontë’s personal agenda in the writing of the 1850 ‘Biographical notice of Ellis and Acton Bell’. With the intention of softening and feminising her sisters’ reputations, Charlotte’s (re)writing of Anne has been long accepted into Brontë lore. This article explores the consequences of the ‘Notice’ and its significance in the posthumous reception of Anne’s work as mainly autobiographical. It suggests that Anne Brontë’s enduring image as the meek, mild, moralist is a result of Charlotte’s careful and conscious curation, and explores the influence of this image on her literary legacy.","PeriodicalId":42344,"journal":{"name":"Bronte Studies","volume":"179 1","pages":"347 - 358"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59903921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
