This book raises fundamental questions about our understanding of Victorian sexuality. Charlotte Brontë was no ''other Victorian'' living out a secret life in a sexual underworld, but she did centre her life''s work on exploring the complexities of our sexual nature. John Maynard shows how Brontë''s early stories and novelettes, written from her teens to young maturity for a private audience of her sisters and brother, deal openly with a ''world below'' of consuming passion, adultery, seduction, promiscuity, frigidity and incest. He traces how these themes are incorporated into Brontë''s mature published work, where her psychological insight into the complexities of sexual need finds its consummate expression. Brontë''s mature novels, especially Jane Eyre and Villette offer an intensely felt but finely realised vision of sexual awakening. They are however, deeply aware of the difficulties that beset sexual experience. Unlike a number of studies, this book stresses the insight, achievement and artistic mastery of Charlotte Brontë, who still challenges us to comprehend the subtleties and complexities of her impressively articulated discourse on sexuality. | Charlotte Brontë And Sexuality by Maynard Maynard Paperback | Indigo Chapters Books > Literary Criticism > Criticism & Theory P10106, Maynard Maynard<
