Reviews

'Challenging the American reception of Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre as a version of Cinderella, Abigail Heiniger provides a fascinating analysis of the persistence of an interpretive tradition that for cultural and ideological reasons remains uncontested.' Heta Pyrhonen, University of Helsinki, Finland


Highly recommended - S. A. Parker, Hiram College, CHOICE Abigail Heiniger's monograph is an interesting, worthwhile addition to previous scholarship on the fairy-tale elements in Jane Eyre [...] Heiniger presents us with two fascinating arguments: that Bronte incorporated pre-Victorian fairy lore to create a changeling heroine in Jane Eyre, and that a distinctively American Cinderella rise tale became central to the female bildungsroman on this continent. - Theodora Goss, Boston University, Marvels & Tales: Journal of Fairy-Tale Studies
