Female and Feminine, but Not Feminist: in the Principal Works of Charlotte Bronte, Elizabeth Gaskell, and George Eliot

Charlotte Bronte, Elizabeth Gaskell, and George Eliot struggled against conventions and endured criticism as authors. Despite personal turmoil, each eventually civilized some of her rebelliousness, and in her life and writing embraced the symbol of conventional wisdom and lifestyle – marriage. Tracking the evolution of a conventional social vision – the civilizing of powerful passions – in the life and major works of three renowned nineteenth-century British women writers is the subject of the following essays. / A Thesis submitted to the Department of English in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. / Summer Semester, 2003. / June 24, 2003. / Three Nineteenth-Century British Women Writers / Includes bibliographical references. / John Fenstermaker, Professor Directing Thesis; Barry Faulk, Committee Member; James O’Rourke, Committee Member.
