    Reimagining the Brontës: (Post)Feminist Middlebrow Adaptations and Representations of Feminine Creative Genius, 1996- 2011. Catherine Paula Han Submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (English Literature) Cardiff University 2015 Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor Professor Ann Heilmann for her unflagging enthusiasm, kindness and acuity in matters academic and otherwise for four years. Working with Professor Heilmann has been a pleasure and a privilege. I am grateful, furthermore, to Dr Iris Kleinecke-Bates at the University of Hull for co-supervising the first year of this project and being a constant source of helpfulness since then. I would also like to acknowledge the assistance of Professor Judith Buchanan at the University of York, who encouraged me to pursue a PhD and oversaw the conception of this thesis. I have received invaluable support, moreover, from many members of the academic and administrative staff at the School of English, Communication and Philosophy at Cardiff University, particularly Rhian Rattray. I am thankful to the AHRC for providing the financial support for this thesis for one year at the University of Hull and for a further two years at Cardiff University. Additionally, I am fortunate to have been the recipient of several AHRC Research and Training Support Grants so that I could undertake archival research in the UK and attend a conference overseas. This thesis could not have been completed without access to resources held at the British Film Institute, the BBC Written Archives and the Brontë Parsonage Museum. I am also indebted to Tam Fry for giving me permission to quote from correspondence written by his father, Christopher Fry.

  • Jane Eyre As Bildungsroman Michael Giffin 19
    The Brontë Th(under)er VOL 10, 2013 Contents Papers from the talks to the 2013 ABA meetings The Cowan Bridge Controversy Christopher Cooper 1 Jane Eyre as Bildungsroman Michael Giffin 19 Frost in her Heart: Charlotte Brontë, Villette & Melancholia Anne Collett 34 Was Heathcliff Black? Robert Dingley 54 Saving St John Rowan McAuley 71 0 The Cowan Bridge Controversy by CHRISTOPHER COOPER and OTHERS Talk given at the ABA meeting on 2 February 2013 One of the great debates in the world of literary theory is whether it is relevant to know about an author’s life in studying his or her writing or whether the text should stand on its own. At one extreme there are those who emphasise the creativity of the author and argue that a work should only be studied from within. At the other end of the spectrum there are those who maintain that every literary work is to some extent an autobiography. Like the nature/nurture debate in child psychology the answer lies somewhere in the middle. There’s no such thing as pure originality. Every author draws upon their own experiences as the raw materials of their work, but then creates from it something new. These experiences may come from the life of the writer or they may come from stories that they have read or heard. It’s hard to imagine Emily Brontë having many direct experiences along the lines of those in Wuthering Heights. In her case her originality grew out of stories she had read and, perhaps more importantly, heard from the servants.
