Charlotte Bronte and the Storyteller’s Audience by Carol Bock
Requirements: .PDF reader, 2.0 MB
Overview: This intelligent study offers a new and appreciative understanding of Charlotte Bronte as a narrative artist. With care and precision, Bock counters the prevailing view of Bronte’s fiction as unconsciously confessional, clearly showing her persistent concern with the reader’s collaborative role in the storytelling experience.
Bock begins with an examination of the creative milieu at Haworth, where Bronte initially gained an understanding of her craft, and continues with a look at Bronte’s relationship with her first audience, Branwell, Emily, and Anne, as well as the influence of her early readings in Scott, Byron, and Blackwood’s Magazine. Bronte’s juvenile tales are used to describe the model of storytelling that she conceptualized during these formative years – a model which reflects her belief that author and reader meet on the border of actuality and imagination in order to pursue the truths that narrative fiction can contain.
