- Description
- Publication about the influence of Charlotte Brontë's romance on North American writers, including Susan Warner, Louisa May Alcott, Kate Douglas Wiggin, Jean Webster, Eleanor Porter, and L.M. Montgomery. The author demonstrates that the reception of Brontë's Gothic romance in America was filtered through Elizabeth Gaskell's biography of the author, published shortly after her friend's death in 1855.
