Anne Brontë – by Betty Jay
In this incisive literary study, Betty Jay re-evaluates Anne Brontë’s work through a contemporary critical lens, shedding light on her exploration of gender, power, class, and resistance in nineteenth-century Britain.
Brontë’s first novel, Agnes Grey (1847), examines the life of a governess and the challenges of education, while The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (1848) delves into female disempowerment and the ways tyranny can be resisted. Both works reveal Brontë’s deep engagement with social inequalities — issues still relevant to feminist debates today.
The book also considers Brontë’s poetry, challenging the assumption of simplicity and sentiment by uncovering a more intricate poetics of subjectivity and loss.
