Sally Shuttleworth Books

Challenging the notion of Charlotte Bronte as an isolated figure, this study situates her work within the rich context of Victorian psychological discourse. Sally Shuttleworth utilizes extensive local research, including newspaper articles and medical texts, to examine the interplay of economic, social, and psychological themes in the 19th century. The analysis delves into how Bronte's fiction responds to the era's complex views on sexuality and insanity, highlighting the influence of medical and psychological surveillance on her writing.
