Jane Eyre
by W. W. NortonHailed as a work of genius immediately after it was published Jane Eyre is still beloved today. The story of the poor, obscure, plain, and little governess who endured suffering at the hands of those who both despised and loved her, Jane's forceful passion and clarity of vision has left its mark upon literature.
Initially published under the pseudonym Currer Bell in 1847, Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyreerupted onto the English literary scene, immediately winning the devotion of many of the world’s most renowned writers, including William Makepeace Thackeray, who declared it a work "of great genius." Widely regarded as a revolutionary novel, Bronte’s masterpiece introduced the world to a radical new type of heroine, one whose defiant virtue and moral courage departed sharply from the more acquiescent and malleable female characters of the day. Passionate, dramatic, and surprisingly modern, Jane Eyre endures as one of the world’s most beloved novels.
