  Dissembling Fictions: Elizabeth Gaskell and the Victorian Social Text

  \n\nClose analysis of the trope of servitude

  central to the imaginative world of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre and working-class diarist Hannah Cullwick

  reveals the challenge as well as the promise of reading these two figures in tandem. Uncoupling the link between will and servitude as one which resulted necessarily in a state either of oppression or emancipation

  this essay traces a literary subjectivity largely unaccounted for by The Brontë Myth. Both Cullwick’s diaries and Jane Eyre’s narrative autobiography acknowledge and actively construct servitude as a complex performance of the desire for recognition between master and servant. This desire is deeply rooted in the texts

  as well as in the narrating subjects themselves.\nKeywords: Charlotte Brontë
