Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Orphaned Jane Eyre endures an unhappy childhood, hated by her aunt and cousins and then sent to comfortless Lowood School. But there life improves and Jane stays on as a teacher, though she still longs for love and friendship. At Mr. Rochester's house, as a governess, she hopes she might have finally found them — until she learns the terrible secret of the attic.

Synopsis:

As an orphan, Jane Eyre's childhood is far from happy. She endures the hatred of her aunt and cousins, but finally begins to find some pleasure as a teacher. She becomes governess to Mr Rochester and hopes that she might at last have found love and kindness.

Synopsis:

Jane Eyre is Charlotte Bronte's most enduring masterpiece, the unforgettable tale of an orphan girl's ardent search for a wider and richer life. Originally published in 1847, it was an immediate popular success, but it also caused a storm of controversy. Bronte's firm insistence on the equality of the sexes and her prescient creation of one of literature's most independent heroines shocked many of her contemporaries. This surprisingly modern sensibility, combined with Bronte's magical use of language and her incandescent storytelling, makes the novel particularly rewarding and accessible today. Set in England's lonely moors and peopled with such memorable characters as the brooding Mr. Rochester, passionate yet melancholy, and the keeper of a terrible secret; the hypocritical Mr. Brocklehurst, a dour "black marble clergyman"; Helen Burns, Jane's beloved but doomed young friend; Bertha, the famous madwoman in the attic; and of course, its incomparable heroine, Jane Eyre has rightfully taken its place among our greatest literary works.
