Waugh argues that contagion, infection, and quarantining strategies are central themes in .Jane Eyre .(1847), .Shirley .(1849), and .Villette .(1853). This book establishes the ways in which Charlotte Bront? was closely engaged with the political and social contexts in which she wrote, extending this to the representation and metaphorical import of illness in Bront?’s novels. Waugh also posits that although miasmatic theories are often assumed to have been entirely in the ascendant in the late 1840s, the relationship between miasma and contagion was a complex one and contagion in fact remained a crucial way for Charlotte Bront? to represent disease itself, as well as to explore the relationships between the individual and social, political, and cultural contexts. Contagion and its metaphors are central to Charlotte Bront?’s construction of subjectivity and of the responsibilities of the individual and the group.. | 出版日期 | Book 2024 | 關鍵詞 | Literature, Science and Medicine Studies; Victorian Literature; Jane Eyre; contagious diseases; Bront?s; | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-65140-3 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-65142-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-65140-3Series ISSN 2634-6435 Series E-ISSN 2634-6443 | issn_series | 2634-6435 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
