Did Charlotte Bronte transform the ancient tale of 'Cupid and Psyche' into one of literature's most enduring novels? In this compelling study, Elizabeth Imlay argues that 'Jane Eyre' is a bold reworking of fairy-tales dating back to the tragic myth, recast through the consciousness of a 19th-century woman seeking passionate love. By tracing Jane's symbolic journey through earth, air, fire, and water-body, spirit, passion, and reason-Imlay reveals how Bronte reshapes the story through a feminist lens, redefining love as a unity of the spiritual and the physical, making 'air' a female element.

Arvustused

"This analytical book was really enlightening as well as compelling; being jam-packed with interesting and well-researched points. It allowed me to more deeply understand the inner workings of Bronte's thoughts and personality as provides extracts from her personal letters and works she wrote in her childhood as young as 16. Overall, I would definitely recommend anyone who enjoyed 'Jane Eyre' as it helps illustrate how Bronte was influenced by her own experiences and reading and how this impacted upon her own writing. Also, if you study Charlotte Bronte at any point (like myself) it would be a real use for essays etc." **** -goodreads reviewer

"This is the most intriguing, thought-provoking & surprising book I've ever read. It is helpful for the reader to have previous knowledge of the cultural background used by Elizabeth Imlay in constructing her argument. If you don't have this, take time to read up on it (using the book's bibliography.)All who are interested in how Bronte's own reading, cultural milieu & personal experience worked with her intellect and creative imagination to produce the great classic 'Jane Eyre', will find this study rewarding. Fresh insight, indeed, and highly original scholarship." **** - goodreads reviewer
