-	The proposed paper will examine the influence of English women authors on Bölte’s literary work. Focussing on Bölte’s novels about governesses (which always focus on women’s attempts to gain (economical) independence – very often comparing England and Germany), the paper will analyse how Bölte uses the genre of the English governess novel and especially the model provided by Charlotte Brontë to develop her own form of social novel to promote women’s rights and thus allowing her to find a voice in the political discourse. By comparing the early text ''Louise oder eine Deutsche in England'' (1846) to the much later ''Elisabeth oder Eine deutsche Jane Eyre'' (1873), the paper will also point out the changes and developments in Bölte’s perspective taking into consideration the intertextual relationship of the later novel to Charlotte Brontë’s ''Jane Eyre''.<br><br>	+	The paper will examine the influence of English women authors on Bölte’s literary work.
