Bøger af Patsy Stoneman

Charting a careful course through the bewildering profusion of material on "Wuthering Heights," this "Guide" offers synopses of and excerpts from critical responses to the novel from the time of publication to the present day, supplemented by the most comprehensive bibliography currently available. Opening with a chapter on how Emily BrontA's masterpiece was received in the nineteenth century, the "Guide" links together a selection of extracts that demonstrate the major critical developments of the twentieth century -- from humanism through formalism to deconstruction. Within this general framework, subsequent chapters focus on psychoanalytic readings, source studies, readings using discourse theory, work on dissemination, and political readings from Marxist, postcolonialist, and feminist points of view.

Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre" was published in October, 1847, and within three months, a version was on stage in London. By 1900, at least eight different stage versions had appeared. This work contains all eight plays, illustrated by Victorian playbills, contemporary etchings of theatres, and portraits of playwrights and actors.

This augmented edition of Patsy Stoneman's pioneering Elizabeth Gaskell presents the original 1987 text unchanged (apart from bibliographical updating) together with an extensive new 'Afterword' surveying Gaskell criticism over the last twenty years.
