| Long abstract | This chapter develops a close reading of ‘passion’ in the text Brontë wrote and in multiple translations, presenting a series of instances in video animations and printed multilingual arrays (with back-translations). It demonstrates that repetitions of the word in English build to form an argument about its meaning, one with radical gender-political implications; and it shows how that argument morphs in different directions through translation. |
