The Punk-Rock Brontes

deCourville, Nichols P, IV

Abstract Details

2017, Master of Arts, University of Akron, English-Literature.
This thesis attempts to synthesize the life and works of the Bronte sisters alongside the ethos of the punk band Crass. While seemingly absurd at first, connections between the two become more clear as the parameters are more defined. This thesis first explores the domestic home as a communal space, establishing the domicile as a place for artists to become fully engaged with their work. It is here that an exploration into the Brontes' Haworth and Crass' Dial House become essential. From there, the individual is what becomes studied, specifically the Bronte father, Patrick, and the fierce individualism as displayed by Crass. Finally, explorations into the poetry of Emily Bronte alongside the lyricism of Crass, and further comparisons are made from there.
