Reading the Writing Desk: Charlotte Brontë’s Instruments and Authorial Craft
Abstract:Quill cutters, dip pens, inks, pencils, and writing papers—these were among the supplies that C19 writers used to compose their novels. Providing a holistic look into the writing desk of Charlotte Brontë, this article calls attention to how the sympathetic imaginations of literary critics have shaped interpretations of Brontë’s authorial practice, and how their Romantic readings have inadvertently undercut the skilled craft, intensive labor, and critical discernment integral to her process. This object-oriented approach to studying Brontë’s manuscripts offers a reassessment of her writing practice, and, by extension, critical-bibliographical methods for interpreting the work of other c19 women writers.
期刊介绍:
Studies in Romanticism was founded in 1961 by David Bonnell Green at a time when it was still possible to wonder whether "romanticism" was a term worth theorizing (as Morse Peckham deliberated in the first essay of the first number). It seemed that it was, and, ever since, SiR (as it is known to abbreviation) has flourished under a fine succession of editors: Edwin Silverman, W. H. Stevenson, Charles Stone III, Michael Cooke, Morton Palet, and (continuously since 1978) David Wagenknecht. There are other fine journals in which scholars of romanticism feel it necessary to appear - and over the years there are a few important scholars of the period who have not been represented there by important work.
