Jane Eyre

A new, beautifully laid-out edition of Charlotte Brontë's 1847 classic, Jane Eyre. Jane Eyre is the story of the life of its titular protagonist, Jane Eyre, starting with her abusive childhood in Gateshead Hall, and continuing with her challenging education at Lowood School, her time as governess at Thornfield Hall, where she falls in love with her mysterious employer, Mr. Rochester, her time in the Moor House, where she is courted by her earnest but cold cousin, St. John Rivers, and finally with her reunion with Rochester. Jane Eyre was a revolutionary work of prose fiction or with a psychological intensity nearly unprecedented in its time, telling the story of our protagonist's moral and spiritual developmet through an intimate first-person narrative. A sensation in its own day, Jane Eyre continues to be among the most beloved and influential novels of all time, cementing Charlotte Brontë's repuation as one of the greatest English language novelists of any era.
