Jane Eyre

Présentation

A beautiful gift, and perfect gems for bookworms.—*So Darling*

At the end we are steeped through and through with the genius, the vehemence, the indignation of Charlotte Brontë—Virginia Woolf

Jane Eyre’s suspense-laden, melodramatic plot – featuring child cruelty and attempted bigamy, as well as the celebrated madwoman – explains much of its appeal… *Jane Eyre* is a book into which generations of readers have escaped. And yet it seems to provide something far more sustaining than the escapist fantasy… Her technical skill at writing the self in a first-person narrative is supreme, her words carefully chosen—Lucasta Miller, Guardian

Charlotte Bronte was surely a marvellous woman. If it could be right to judge the work of a novelist from one small portion of one novel [*JE*], and to say of an author that he is to be accounted as strong as he shows himself to be in his strongest morsel of work, I should be inclined to put Miss Bronte very high indeed. I know of no interest more thrilling than that which she has been able to throw into the characters of Rochester and the governess, in the second volume of *Jane Eyre*—Anthony Trollope

Great genius—William Makepeace Thackeray

Passionately independent orphan falls for the perfect romantic anti-hero. But then she discovers what he keeps in his attic…—Maggie O’Farrell
