Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre is the Victorian novel most popular with modern readers. It has challenged a host of creative writers and scholars of diverse critical schools alike to engage with the text and has gained cult status - at least with the English reading public. It has inspired numerous rewritings, modern versions and sequels, has been adapted for the stage and filmed a great many times. The seminar will explore the appeal this text seems to hold for modern audiences and analyse a variety of modern Jane Eyre versions ranging from Jean Rhys' famous postcolonial rewriting The Wide Sargasso Sea (1966) to Jasper Fforde's acclaimed postmodern thriller The Eyre Affair (2001), various Jane Eyre plays both old and modern, and a selection of film versions.

Assessment and permitted materials

Students are expected to write a seminar paper or BA thesis (to be handed in by the end of January at the latest), to give an oral presentation in class, to participate in the discussion in class and to write an end-test. All students must read all the texts we will discuss in the course.
