There Is Always The Other Side: Emma Tennant's Adèle And Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre.



Authors : Otmani Ilhem . Bouregbi Salah .

Abstract

This paper focuses on an example of contemporary women’s rewriting in postmodern British literature. It explores the foregrounding of the marginalized and forgotten voices in postmodern rewrites. Playing with intertextual references in Adèle: Jane Eyre’s Hidden Story (2002), the British writer Emma Tennant offers a rewriting of Charlotte Bronte’s classic novel Jane Eyre by transforming a silent character into a central one. Taking her subject the young girl “Adèle”, Tennant seems to debunk centers in the source text and privilege those who had unimportant parts.

Keywords

Adèle; Charlotte Bronte; Emma Tennant; Jane Eyre, postmodern rewriting.
