Charlotte Brontë
Jane Eyre
Introduction by Margaret Lane
The story details of Jane Eyre are known to thousands of novel-readers who turn to its pages for further re-reading. It is, as the introducer says, 'a novel with a vivid history', and now, more than a hundred years since 'it fell like a meteor in 1847', its place in our affections is more assured than ever; it is 'a book that has been loved by generations'. Ten years after the book's publication Mrs Gaskell's biography of her friend, Charlotte Brontë, appeared. It revealed, as Margaret Lane has observed, 'one of the most remarkable private dramas of the nineteenth century. Its interest is inexhaustible because profundity of character, united to exquisite capacity for feeling and to genius of expression, is a combination as powerful as it is rare. In Jane Eyre these three aspects of the author unfold themselves and lie open to the perceptive reader.'

A gothic masterpiece of tempestuous passions and dark secrets, Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre is edited with an introduction and notes by Stevie Davis in Penguin Classics.
Charlotte Brontë tells the story of orphaned Jane Eyre, who grows up in the home of her heartless aunt, enduring loneliness and cruelty. This troubled childhood strengthens Jane's natural independence and spirit - which prove necessary when she finds employment as a governess to the young ward of Byronic, brooding Mr Rochester. As her feelings for Rochester develop, Jane gradually uncovers Thornfield Hall's terrible secret, forcing her to make a choice. Should she stay with Rochester and live with the consequences, or follow her convictions - even if it means leaving the man she loves? A novel of intense power and intrigue, Jane Eyre dazzled readers with its passionate depiction of a woman's search for equality and freedom.
