Beschreibung
This book explores the representations of militarisim and masculinity in Charlotte and Branwell Brontë¿s youthful writings. It offers insight into how the siblings understood and reimagined conflict (both local and overseas) and its emotional legacies whilst growing up in early-nineteenth-century Britain. Their writings shed new light on a period little discussed by social and military historians, providing not only a new approach to Brontë Studies, but also acting as a familial case study for how the media captivated and enticed the public imagination.

Zusammenfassung

Examines the Brontës' work in a fresh historical and thematic context

Introduces Branwell Brontë's work, and the Brontë juvenilia more broadly, into the critical literary canon

Provides an interdisciplinary analysis of late-eighteenth and early nineteenth-century military in a political, social and cultural context. Including discussions of the periodical press, celebrity, colonial/civil/Napoleonic warfare, and trauma

Discusses an often overlooked period of history (1815-1830) that provides important foundations for the emergent Victorian period
