Imperialism, reform and the making of Englishness in Jane Eyre. Charlotte Brontë is usually thought to be imprecise about the time period of Jane Eyre. Working from a close chronology established from Brontë's historical allusions to West Indian slave rebellions, I propose to write a pioneering book about the novel and aspects of its reception, situating them and Brontë's juvenilia in relation to axes of reform politics in Britain in the 1820s and 1830s. I draw on innovative primary research on the articulation of gender, empire and Englishness in relation to these axes and address the implications of Brontë's invocation in 1847 of an earlier reform complex.

帝国主义、改革和《简·爱》中英国化的形成。人们通常认为夏洛特·勃朗特对《简·爱》的创作时间并不准确。从勃朗特《S》对西印度群岛奴隶叛乱的历史典故开始，我打算写一本关于这部小说及其接受程度的开创性书籍，将它们与勃朗特《少年S》与19世纪20年代和30年代英国改革政治的轴心联系起来。我利用创新的初步研究，将性别、帝国和英国化与这些轴心联系起来，并阐述了勃朗特在1847年引用S对更早的改革情结的影响。
