JANE EYRE | Reviews and Previews

May 17, 2013 By AVLT Leave a Comment

Here are some highlights from critic Michael Grossberg’s take on AVLT’s new production – Jane Eyre: A Memory, A Fever, A Dream… “Thoughtful, moving… Beautifully acted and intelligently shaped… Jeff Horst projects marvelous depths and nuances… an ambitious and emotionally rewarding exploration of a darker and more ambitious classic.” Read it all here: http://avlt.co/janedisprev1

To learn even more about the creation of this production, be sure to check out Mr. Grossberg’s article from a couple of days ago, in which he interviews director Acacia Duncan, playwright Daniel Elihu Kramer, and our Jane, Robyn Rae Stype. Check it out: http://avlt.co/janedispprev1

Lisa Much, theatre reviewer for Columbus Underground, doesn’t seem like a fan of the novel, but had this to say about AVLT’s production, “Acacia Leigh Duncan masterfully captains this production into a seamless show… Collectively, AVLT creates a show that captures the audience in its beauty and may sweep them away…” Read it here: http://avlt.co/janeundrev001

I must tell you though, my favorite review so far came from Mr. Artie Isaac. On Facebook, he wrote, “Oh, the opening of JANE EYRE was magnificent. I’d never read the book. After last night’s Available Light Theatre performance, I could dream it.” Beautiful. Thanks, sir.

Jane Eyre as bildungsroman

May 4, 2013 By AVLT Leave a Comment

According to a number of critical sources, Jane Eyre is a bildungsroman.

What the heck is a bildungsroman? Let’s ask Wikipedia.

Bildungsroman
In literary criticism, a Bildungsroman (or “novel of formation,” also coming-of-age story,) is a literary genre that focuses on the psychological and moral growth of the protagonist from youth to adulthood, and in which character change is thus extremely important.

The term was coined in 1819 by philologist Karl Morgenstern in his university lectures, and later famously reprised by Wilhelm Dilthey, who legitimized it in 1870 and popularized it in 1905.[1][4] The genre is further characterized by a number of formal, topical, and thematic features.[5] The term coming-of-age novel is sometimes used interchangeably with Bildungsroman, but its use is usually wider and less technical.

The genre translates fairly directly into cinematic form, the coming-of-age film.

A few other examples:
The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, by Laurence Sterne (1759)
David Copperfield, by Charles Dickens (1850)
Sons and Lovers, by D. H. Lawrence (1913)
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, by James Joyce (1916)
The Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger (1951)
The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton (1967)
Ender’s Game, by Orson Scott Card (1985)
The Harry Potter series, by J. K. Rowling (1997-2007)
