Prefigurando La Nueva Mujer en Mary Barton de Elizabeth Gaskell y La inquilina de Wildfell Hall de Anne Brontë
Barra lateral del artículo
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
La época victoriana fue un periodo de prosperidad y desarrollo para las escritoras británicas. Muchas de ellas criticaron la moral y los valores victorianos a través de sus obras. Las mujeres empezaron a rebelarse contra las normas establecidas por la sociedad, y la literatura femenina comenzó a desarrollarse como una forma de combatir el patriarcado. Posteriormente, a finales del siglo XIX, Sarah Grand acuñó el concepto de La Nueva Mujer. Sin embargo, en este trabajo sostengo que este concepto puede encontrarse previamente en la literatura victoriana temprana. De este modo, este trabajo propone analizar los personajes femeninos en Mary Barton (1848) y La Inquilina de Wildfell Hall (1848) que representan a la Nueva Mujer, y cómo Elizabeth Gaskell y Anne Brontë crean personajes femeninos que desafían los estándares sociales victorianos.
