Title: Misreading Jane Eyre
First published: 1996
Description: This revisionary look at Charlotte Bronte's classic novel Jane Eyre offers a rigorous new reading and an interrogation of the reading process. Examining both literary historical contexts and contexts produced within the structure of the narrative itself (and incorporating a number of literary critical strands, including historical scholarship, reception aesthetics, Iserian phenomenology, Bakhtinian dialogism, and traditional formalism), Beaty resituates the common feminist reading of Jane Eyre.
