Analysis of Virginia Woolf’s essay on Charlotte Bronte’s novel Jane Eyre & Emily Bronte’s novel Wuthering Heights, from Virginia Woolf’s critical book The Common Reader (1925). In the essay, Virginia Woolf outlines what makes the writing of these two novelists so majestic & intense, & describes Charlotte Brontë’s & Emily Brontë’s most intrinsic qualities. What is fundamentally different about the writing of the two sisters (including the aim, scope, focus of their writing)? Virginia Woolf contrasts the Brontës’ to Jane Austen’s narrative style. The lecture examines Virginia Woolf’s analysis in relation to John Keats’s egotistical sublime and chameleon poet (what we might call High Romanticism), and to Charlotte Brontë’s & Emily Brontë’s use of ‘Pathetic Fallacy’ in their symbolic use of nature.
