An online paper concerning the representation of the doubleness of selfhood that can be seen in the protagonists of Bronte’s Jane Eyre and Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea. The writer, Lewis aims to explain how this doubleness is shown, and how both between and within the two novels a “mirroring of double identity” can be seen. Lewis looks into the “duality of the female personae” and how the concept of “doubling” can also be across gender boundaries. This is a scholarly work that enables one to see how the works of Bronte and Rhys can be connected, and in what ways their female characters are similar/different, and this will allow for a more comprehensive understanding of both texts on the reader’s part.

The Imperial Archive is digital project created by the School of English at the Queen’s University of Belfast which provides internet resources concerning the study of Imperial and Postcolonial literature. This particular link focuses specifically on Jean Rhys’s "Wide Sargasso Sea," as a way to look into the Caribbean region and the colonial discourse that takes place there.

Various papers written by the MA students of the aforementioned university are posted, which allow for a multi-perspective understanding of the novel itself, for they touch on themes ranging from voodoo to anxiety, and connect it with the works of Bronte, Bhabha, etc. A detailed bibliography and further links are also helpful for those who are examining the novel more seriously.
