Victorian. 2nd edition. Livergant A.Ya.

The English literature of the 19th century was a unique environment in which a galaxy of talented writers and poets appeared. Despite the fact that in literature, like in society, patriarchal orders reigned, the work of the sisters Bronte, Jane Osten and other female authors managed to find the way to the reader and prepare him for the future feminist turn in the literature of modernism. The faces of this era were talented, enlightened and strong representatives, to whom the book of literary critic A. Livergant is dedicated to. It included three essays: “Unrivaled Jane” about Jane Osten, “House in the cemetery” about Charlotte, Emily, Anne and Branuelle Bronte and “Victorian Siville” about Mary-Evans, who wrote under the pseudonym, George Eliot. In each of them, the author reflects on the work and fate of the heroines, immersing their biographies into a detailed historical context.
