Synopsis

[Authoritative text: from the 3rd edition (1848) as revised by Charlotte Brontė] ... Originally published under a pseudonym, Charlotte Brontė’s first and most popular novel is a tale of passion and principle, exploring themes of class, spirituality, and femininity. Brontė’s first-person narrative - now a common device, but then a literary revolution - puts the reader inside the mind of our heroine, Jane Eyre, whose growth from childhood to adulthood the story charts. Yet as her journey along the thorny path of life brings a degree of harmony, so appears the brooding, mysterious Mr Rochester, exacerbating life’s complications - and transforming its possibilities.

From the Publisher:

Charlotte Bronte's impassioned novel is the love story of Jane Eyre, a plain yet spirited governess, and her arrogant, brooding Mr. Rochester. Published in 1847, under the pseudonym of Currer Bell, the book heralded a new kind of heroine--one whose virtuous integrity, keen intellect and tireless perseverance broke through class barriers to win equal stature with the man she loved. Hailed by William Makepeace Thackeray as "the masterwork of great genius," Jane Eyre is still regarded, over a century later, as one of the finest novels in English literature.
