Jane Eyre (Penguin Classics)

by Charlotte Bronte

Jane Eyre (Penguin Classics) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A new edition of one of Penguins top ten Classics. "The novel that has been teaching true strength of character for generations." (The Guardian)

A novel of intense power and intrigue, Jane Eyre has dazzled generations of readers with its depiction of a womans quest for freedom. This updated edition features a new introduction discussing the novels political and magical dimensions.

Having grown up an orphan in the home of her cruel aunt and at a harsh charity school, Jane Eyre becomes an independent and spirited survivor — qualities that serve her well as governess at Thornfield Hall. But when she finds love with her sardonic employer, Rochester, the discovery of his terrible secret forces her to make a choice. Should she stay with him whatever the consequences or follow her convictions, even if it means leaving her beloved?

Review:

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

Review:

"Long criticized as being melodramatic and contrived, Jane Eyre has nonetheless become a romantic classic and is often the book that introduces students to serious literature." Library Journal

Synopsis:

In conjunction with the New York Public Library, Doubleday is proud to introduce a very special collector's series of literary masterpieces. Lavishly illustrated with rare archival material from the library's extensive resources, including the renowned Berg collection, these editions will bring the classics to life for a new generation of readers.
