| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aims to elucidate two issues and the relations between the two, if any, through examining how British writers responded to “Corinne, or Italy” written by Madame de Stael. First, the issue of the public sphere for British women in the early nineteenth century is examined, specifically the female celebrities in that period and the problems they faced. Second, their consciousness of nationalities then emerging is explored. In the works by the Jewsbury Sisters and Charlotte Bronte, the main objects of this study, British female characters tend to be set against those from continental Europe, some of whom are represented as celebrities, but their relations are complicated. These relations attest to the intricate and ambivalent attitudes of the British toward European nations.
