Immorale et rebelle dans une maison de correction religieuse victorienne. Invention de la psychologie enfantine avant d’être femme (1847). Drawing on children’s literature, educational texts and Charlotte Brontë’s own childhood experience, Professor Sally Shuttleworth looks at the passionate and defiant child of Jane Eyre. Professor John Bowen and Ann Dinsdale discuss the childhood writings and experiences of the Brontë sisters, exploring how these shaped their later writing in novels such as Jane Eyre. Filmed at the Brontë Parsonage, Haworth. I am glad you are no relation of mine: I will never call you aunt again as long as I live. I will never come to see you when I am grown up; and if any one asks me how I liked you, and how you treated me, I will say the very thought of you makes me sick, and that you treated me with miserable cruelty.
(ch. 4) When Jane Eyre was published in 1847, it introduced a new voice to the world – a passionate, angry and defiant child.

Les Victoriens trouvaient Charlotte grossière et immorale. The Naughty Book. This year is the bicentennial of Charlotte Brontë's birth. She died in March 1855, at the age of nearly 39, which makes this month something of an anniversary too.
Her best known work, Jane Eyre, has the capacity of a fairytale to transcend time, with its Cinderella story of an unwanted child who becomes a poor, plain governess but ends up beating the odds by snaring the Byronic hero Mr Rochester. High points in the novel's rich afterlife include the 1943 Hollywood version with Joan Fontaine and Orson Welles, and, in more recent times, Michael Berkeley's opera, Fanny Britt's graphic novel Jane, the Fox and Me and the artist Paula Rego's haunting images. Yet despite its mesmerising staying power, posterity has not quite known what to do with Jane Eyre. In modern times it has been marketed as a feel-good children's book, claimed as a high-minded feminist bible, and commercially exploited as a clichéd bodice-ripper (I recently bought a racy, lacy bra called "Brontë" in its honour).
La Victorian girl féministe, Charlotte Brontë. As a poor, plain parson's daughter, struggling to make a living as a teacher and governess, Charlotte Brontë didn't think of herself as a potential revolutionary, but as soon as she started to express herself, revolutionary views came out. She wrote Jane Eyre in secret and published it under a pseudonym, so had little idea of what a sensation it was causing among its first readers, who were bowled over by the novel's freshness, passion and brilliant storytelling. But most of all, it was the novel's heroine who made people sit up and take notice, with her fiery spirit and refusal to compromise.
"Unjust! Unjust! " You'd think 168 years would be long enough for the culture to have absorbed what an obscure Victorian girl had to say, but when I reread Brontë's novels recently, I was struck by how much in them remains totally undigested. At 31, Susannah York was considered too old to play the 18-year-old Jane Eyre in 1970 (Rex) There's much to be learnt from these revolutionary sentiments. Une féministe en pleine époque victorienne.
April 21 marks the 200th anniversary of Charlotte Brontë's birth and is the occasion for the publication of another biography of a writer who has captured readers' imagination quite as much as her most famous creations — and for good reason. Brontë's life was filled with enough domestic drama, passion, romantic suffering and melancholy circumstance for any fictional character. Indeed, Brontë's first biographer, Elizabeth Gaskell, created a version that was essentially fiction, glossing over her subject's turbulent sexual yearning to present an edifying Victorian martyr, a woman surrounded by madness and death. Since then, there have been countless other versions, Freudian, Marxist, paternalistic and feminist among them. And now here is Claire Harman's "Charlotte Brontë: A Fiery Heart," a well-researched, wonderfully lucid, pleasingly written treatment of a most extraordinary woman. Harman's biography does not, unsurprisingly, alter the well-known outlines of Charlotte Brontë's life.

Charlotte Brontë ou l’invention moderne du « soi » (protestantisme, féminisme, littérature… ) Consider the selfie. By now, it’s a fairly mundane artistic tradition, even after a profusion of thinkpieces have wrestled with its rise thanks to the so-called Me Generation’s “obsession” with social media.
Anyone in possession of a cheap camera phone or laptop can take a picture of themselves, edit it (or not), and share it with the world in a matter or seconds. But before the selfie came “the self,” or the fairly modern concept of the independent “individual.” The now-ubiquitous selfie expresses in miniature the seismic conceptual shift that came about centuries ago, spurred in part by advances in printing technology and new ways of thinking in philosophy. Those who remember Jane Eyre solely as required reading in high-school English class likely recall most vividly its over-the-top Gothic tropes: a childhood banishment to a death-haunted room, a mysterious presence in the attic, a Byronic hero, and a cold mansion going up in flames.
Conventionality is not morality.
