A recently published book with Brontë-related content:
Powerful Prose
How Textual Features Impact Readers

Edited by: R. L. Victoria Pöhls and Mariane Utudji
De Gruyter
ISBN: 9783839458808
October 2021

What makes a reading experience »powerful«? This volume brings together literary scholars, linguists, and empirical researchers to elucidate the effects and reader responses to investigate just that. The thirteen contributions theorize this widely-used, but to date insufficiently studied notion, and provide insights into the therefore still mysterious-seeming power of literary fiction. The collection investigates a variety of stylistic as well as readerly and psychological features responsible for short- and long-term effects - topics of great interest to those interested or specialized in literary studies and narratology, (cognitive) stylistics, empirical literary studies and reader response theory.
The book includes the chapter Introducing Jane: The Power of the Opening by Kimberley Pager-McClymont
