Imperialism, reform and the making of Englishness in Jane Eyre

帝国主义、改革与《简·爱》中英国性的形成。夏洛特勃朗特通常被认为是不精确的时间段的简爱。从勃朗特的历史典故到西印度奴隶起义，我建立了一个紧密的年表，我打算写一本关于小说及其接受方面的开创性著作，将它们和勃朗特的少年时代与19世纪20年代和30年代英国改革政治的轴心联系起来。我借鉴了创新的主要研究，阐述了性别，帝国和英国性与这些轴心的关系，并解决了勃朗特在1847年援引早期改革情结的影响。

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.
