Resumen
El presente artículo tratará de cubrir las principales consideraciones sobre la representación de la maternidad en las novelas brontëanas más culturalmente reproducidas, como son Jane Eyre (1847) de Charlotte Brontë, Cumbres Borrascosas (1847) de Emily Brontë y—en menor medida—La inquilina de Wildfell Hall (1848) de Anne Brontë y Villette (1853) de Charlotte Brontë. Se prestará especial atención a Cumbres Borrascosas y sus reproducciones culturales debido a su potencial para profundizar en traumas generacionales y vínculos matrilineales físicamente ausentes, así como a su influencia en la memoria popular a través de adaptaciones—ya sean fieles o “clásicas” —de las novelas o aquellas imaginaciones que utilizan un lenguaje característicamente brontëano para abordar algunos de los temas presentes en la narrativa mencionada. Así, el objetivo principal de esta discusión es rastrear el potencial afectivo del vínculo madre-hija en las narrativas de las Brontë para proporcionar un marco de referencia desde el cual explorar cómo la ficción neo-victoriana—en este caso, Ancho mar de los Sargazos (1966) de Jean Rhys, Ill Will: The Untold Story of Heathcliff (2018) de Michael Stewart, Lady Macbeth (2016) de William Oldroyd y la serie de televisión Taboo (2017) de Kristoffer Nyholm y Anders Engström—ha reimaginado estas relaciones y su legado afectivo en la memoria cultural.
