44 reviewsThis book examines melodramatic impulses in Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre & Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga, as well as the series' film adaptations & fan-authored texts. Attention to conventions such as crying, victimization, & happy endings in the context of the Twilight-Jane Eyre relationship reveals melodrama as an empowering mode of communication for girls. Although melodrama has saturated popular culture since the nineteenth century, its expression in texts for, about, & by girls has been remarkably under theorized.
By defining melodrama, however, through its Victorian lineages, Katie Kapurch recognizes melodrama's aesthetic form & rhetorical function in contemporary girl culture while also demonstrating its legacy since the nineteenth century. Informed by feminist theories of literature & film, Kapurch shows how melodrama is worthy of serious consideration since the mode critiques limiting social constructions of postfeminist girlhood and, at the same time, enhances intimacy between girls—both characters & readers.
