In The Brontë Cabinet, (2015), Deborah Lutz investigates material objects owned by the sisters—e.g. souvenirs, mementos, books, writing desks—to illuminate the sisters’ lives.  Material objects that the sisters created, touched, lived with, and incorporated into their writing help us to set the Brontës’ writing in their cultural moment and to understand each sister better.

Please see here for visual texts connected to each week's learning on the module.

The Cove Gallery tool allows you to annotate the visual texts, which includes the capacity to insert references and links to other media. We are able to share our annotations with all group members to benefit our collective conversation and analysis of the texts.

You must also include some formal analysis of the painting, illustration, or photograph.  Think carefully about the artist’s use of color, line, space, and perspective.  How does the artist use these elements to create a specific idea about the woman portrayed? 

Lastly, your analysis must explain what ideas about women the image conveys.  Questions you might consider:

By using Jane Eyre, Ruth Hall, and images of the time, this project seeks to explore how children coming of age were viewed during the Victorian era based on such factors as their class, intelligence, gender, and beauty. In doing so, we will reveal the high and sometimes impossible standards for children, especially girls, at this age, which often led to distress and low self-esteem.
