This essay reads ‘Currer Bell’ as an important alternative name for Jane Eyre which helped to convey an ambiguous sense of authorship and genre to the public at its initial publication. Through a close analysis of its discursive and narrative function, this essay will demonstrate how ‘Currer Bell’ worked as a curious name that helped to construct ambiguous subjectivities for both Charlotte Brontë and Jane Eyre. While this strange proper name worked as part of Jane Eyre’s realist project at first, it became a disrupting element to the book’s genre claim later. At the same time, Jane Eyre’s first-person narrative authority had been challenged by the outer voice of ‘Currer Bell’.

'Currer Bell'：简爱的别称专有名词

这篇文章将“Currer Bell”视为简爱的一个重要替代名称，这有助于在其最初出版时向公众传达一种模糊的作者身份和体裁感。通过对其话语和叙事功能的仔细分析，本文将展示“Currer Bell”如何作为一个奇怪的名字，帮助夏洛蒂·勃朗特和简爱构建模糊的主体性。虽然这个奇怪的专有名词起初是简爱现实主义项目的一部分，但后来它成为了该书体裁主张的破坏性元素。与此同时，简爱的第一人称叙事权威受到了“库勒贝尔”的外在声音的挑战。
