While the reception of Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë has drawn extensive
attention from critics in the United Kingdom and in the United States, much
needed scholarship on their position in other wor(l)ds - languages and cultures
- remains to be done. This collection of essays looks at the works of the Brontë
sisters through a translingual, transnational, and transcultural lens, viewing
them as examples of heteroglossia, hybridity, and postcolonial reworkings. In
applying principles of postcolonial theory, reception studies, translation
theory, media analysis, and comparative literature, this collection is the first
book-length study of the works of the Brontës sisters as received and reimagined
in languages and cultures
