Cíle předmětu
The course is designed to introduce the Brontë sisters and their work. We will read the three most famous novels by the Brontës and a number of essays discussing various aspects of the Brontë phenomenon. In order to better understand both the writers and their work, we will also closely examine the social, political and cultural background from which the writers emerged and in which they worked; also, we will analyse social, political and cultural impact of the Brontës’ works on both their contemporaries and later generations. In addition, we will study reception and interpretation of the Brontes and their works and how they developed and changed over time.
