The Eyre Affair de Jasper Fforde : une expérience de critique amusante by Yen-Maï Tran-Gervat

“…Fforde does not propose a specific, coherent interpretation of Jane Eyre: his parody is more an “amusing critical experiment”, a playful narrative in which Charlotte Brontë’s romance is brought to life in a way that allows every reader to deal with such critical issues in Jane Eyre as point of view, the controversial ending and the creation of characters.…”

The Story of Heathcliff’s Journey Back to Wuthering Heights de Lin Haire-Sargeant (1992), ou le « deux en un » de la ré-écriture by Isabelle Roblin

“…It could indeed be classified doubly as a “retro-Victorian novel” since it partly re-writes not only Emily Brontë’s most famous novel, Wuthering Heights, as the title points out, but also, somewhat less obviously, Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre. We will study in this article how Lin Haire-Sargeant’s attempt at re-writing highlights the usual aims of the retro-Victorian novel: taking advantage of the blanks left by the source novels to propose to the reader a modern critical approach, while at the same time being as faithful as possible to the writing conventions of the 19th century, and suggesting another point of view on a well-known story, through a postmodern mixing of historical and fictive characters.…”

“…Elle tente d’instaurer un dialogue critique entre les deux histoires afin d’aborder la question du sujet féministe britannique contemporain.Reprenant l’argument de Judith Halberstam selon lequel « la littérature de l’horreur » a la « faculté de transformer les combats politiques en états mentaux » et de « brouiller la distinction entre les deux », cet article examine le regard critique que pose Debbie Shewell sur Charlotte Brontë et Jean Rhys et analyse la portée et les conséquences de l’interprétation psychologique que fait Debbie Shewell de Bertha Mason Rochester et de sa relation avec Jane Eyre.…”
