{"product_id":"violence-and-the-brontzs-sophie-franklin-9781399523004","title":"Violence and the Brontës: Language, Reception, Afterlives","description":"The well-known and well-loved writings of Anne, Charlotte and Emily Brontë are full of violence. From the many battles waged in their early writings to the violent emotions and threats expressed in their published novels, the Brontës' representations of brutality shocked Victorian reviewers and continue to surprise readers in the twenty-first century. \u003ci\u003eViolence and the Brontës \u003c\/i\u003eaccounts for such intense reactions by reading the sisters' literary violences as transformational, encompassing harm, pain and suffering while at times also signalling creativity and even renewal. Through a new reading of the Brontës' major works, as well as film, stage and television adaptations, this book argues that violence is at the centre of the Brontës' imaginative engagements with nineteenth-century life. In the process, it demonstrates how violence continues to be vital to interpreting the Brontës' reception history and afterlives in modern culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sophie Franklin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399523007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399523004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Sophie Franklin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47930777469183,"sku":"9781399523004","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_36e8dd50-4c26-48c4-be07-5c23eed8b877.jpg?v=1766344200","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/violence-and-the-brontzs-sophie-franklin-9781399523004","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
