Overview

"At the end we are steeped through and through with the genius, the vehemence, the indignation of Charlotte Bronte."

--Virginia Woolf


Jane Eyre is Charlotte Bronte's first published novel, and her most celebrated work.

It is the story of an intelligent young English girl, an orphan, abused by her aunt and her cousins and much of the world around her. Through it all she remains strong, refusing to allow the world to crush her spirit or her strength of will.

Filled with social criticism and the sinister Gothic elements that helped define a genre, Jane Eyre is above all a story of a woman's quest for freedom and love.

About the Author

Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855), English writer noted for her novel Jane Eyre (1847), sister of Anne Brontë and Emily Brontë. The three sisters are almost as famous for their short, tragic lives as for their novels. The collection of poems, Poems By Currer, Ellis And Acton Bell (1846), which Charlotte wrote with her sisters, sold only two copies. Her novel The Professor never found a publisher during her lifetime. Undeterred by this rejection, Charlotte began Jane Eyre, which appeared in 1847 and became an immediate success. Jane Eyre was followed by Shirley (1848) and Vilette (1853).
