_Jane Eyre_, _Wuthering Heights_, _The Tenant of Wildfell Hall_, and _Shirley_ are arguably most famous for their romantic characters and plots. Yet, these novels also tackle gender and class inequalities, address the human and ecological cost of industrialization, and confront the impact events associated with distant lands (including Ireland, Europe, Africa, and the British Empire) had on their corner of northern England. We shall examine how Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Bront毛, often portrayed as isolated figures, understood the critical ways in which the local and the global intersected in the Victorian world and used that knowledge to shape the plots, characters, and settings of their novels.
