Engaging with scholarship on the romance novel, she presents an historical case study of the generative power and protean nature of Brontë's new romance narrative in German translation, adaptation, and imitation as it involved multiple agents, from writers and playwrights to readers, publishers, illustrators, reviewers, editors, adaptors, and translators. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJane Eyre\u003ci\u003e in German Lands \u003c\/i\u003etraces the ramifications in the paths of transfer that testify to widespread creative investment in romance as new ideas of women's freedom and equality topped the horizon and sought a home, especially in the middle classes. As Tatlock outlines, the multiple German instantiations of Brontë's novel-four translations, three abridgments, three adaptations for general readers, nine adaptations for younger readers, plays, farces, and particularly the fiction of the popular German writer E. Marlitt and its many adaptations-evince a struggle over its meaning and promise. Yet precisely this multiplicity (repetition, redundancy, and proliferation) combined with the romance narrative's intrinsic appeal in the decades between the March Revolutions and women's franchise enabled the cultural diffusion, impact, and long-term survival of \u003ci\u003eJane Eyre\u003c\/i\u003e as German reading. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThough its focus on the circulation of texts across linguistic boundaries and intertwined literary markets and reading cultures, Jane Eyre\u003ci\u003e in German Lands\u003c\/i\u003e unsettles the national paradigm of literary history and makes a case for a fuller and inclusive account of the German literary field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lynne Tatlock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 150138239X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501382390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/24\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.62d","brand":"Lynne Tatlock","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44077938508031,"sku":"9781501382390","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e844979c-76f2-422c-96a0-11286f818581.jpg?v=1685472621","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jane-eyre-in-german-lands-lynne-tatlock-9781501382390","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
