Literary Landscapes: The World of the Brontës

This course will explore the literary landscapes of the Brontë sisters. It will consider the way in which their novels drew upon the physical and geographical landscapes in which they lived and grew up while at the same time internalising these into an imaginative world which owed much to literary tradition, especially Gothic literature, as well as the social conventions of their own age. This course will focus primarily on Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.
