Orphaned at a young age, Jane Eyre is foisted upon unfriendly relations, sent to school to suffer illness, injustice and privation, before striking out on her own to earn her living as a governess. Independent and passionate by nature, Jane only begins to discover fulfilment when she takes up a post at Thornfield Hall and gets to know the master Mr Rochester, a man of changeable moods. Yet will Thornfield’s secrets and Mr Rochester’s past prove obstacles to Jane’s happiness? With its gothic atmosphere and first-person narrative, Charlotte Brontë’s bildungsroman has captivated readers since its first appearance in 1847.

Introduction and Notes by Dr Sally Minogue, Canterbury Christ Church University College. Jane Eyre ranks as one of the greatest and most perennially popular works of English fiction. Although the poor but plucky heroine is outwardly of plain appearance, she possesses an indomitable spirit, a sharp wit and great courage. She is forced to battle against the exigencies of a cruel guardian, a harsh employer and a rigid social order. All of which circumscribe her life and position when she becomes governess to the daughter of the mysterious, sardonic and attractive Mr Rochester. However, there is great kindness and warmth in this epic love story, which is set against the magnificent backdrop of the Yorkshire moors. Ultimately the grand passion of Jane and Rochester is called upon to survive cruel revelation, loss and reunion, only to be confronted with tragedy.

"Gentle reader, may you never feel what I then felt!" Throughout the hardships of her childhood - spent with a severe aunt and abusive cousin, and later at the austere Lowood charity school - Jane Eyre clings to a sense of self-worth, despite of her treatment from those close to her. At the age of eighteen, sick of her narrow existence, she seeks work as a governess. The monotony of Jane's new life at Thornfield Hall is broken up by the arrival of her peculiar and changeful employer, Mr Rochester. Routine at the mansion is further disrupted by mysterious incidents that draw the pair closer together but which, once explained, threaten Jane's happiness and integrity. A flagship of Victorian fiction, Jane Eyre draws the reader in by the vigour of Jane's voice and the novel's forceful depiction of childhood injustice, of the restraints placed upon women, and the complexities of both faith and passion. The emotional charge of Jane's story is as strong today as it was more than 150 years ago, as she seeks dignity and freedom on her own terms. In this new edition, Juliette Atkinson explores the power of narrative voice and looks at the striking physicality of the novel, which is both shocking and romantic.

Jane Eyre er fortællingen om den forældreløse og fattige Jane, der vokser op i 1800-tallets England hos sin onkel og dennes tyranniske kone og børn, der mishandler hende både fysisk og psykisk og til sidst beslutter at sende hende til kostskolen Lowood. På Lowood bliver Jane nedgjort og ydmyget af den ondskabsfulde inspektør pastor Brocklehurst, men hun knytter også nære og varme relationer, som får stor indflydelse på resten af hendes liv. Da Janes skoletid er forbi, og efter at have arbejdet nogle år som lærerinde på Lowood, får hun arbejde som guvernante på det store gods Thornfield Hall. Her stifter hun bekendtskab med godsets ejer, den mystiske Mr Rochester, som hun senere forelsker sig i, men både Thornfield Hall og Mr Rochester gemmer på dystre hemmeligheder, der tvinger Jane ud i svære beslutninger. "Bogen er den dag i dag tilfredsstillende for fantasien, fordi den rummer alle de elementære ønskedrømselementer og samtidig følger urtypen på en 'rigtig historie' – selve eventyrets linie. Der er ikke så forfærdelig mange bøger i verdenslitteraturen, der har denne elementære dragning, og de der er der, elskes uforandret gennem generationer." - Elsa Gress "Så åbner vi Jane Eyre … Forfatteren har fat i vores hånd og fører os med på hendes vej, får os til at se, hvad hun ser, forlader os ikke et øjeblik eller lader os glemme hende. Til sidst er vi gennemtrængt af Charlotte Brontës geni, hendes heftighed, hendes indignation … Det er den røde og urolige glød fra hjertets brand, der illuminerer hendes sider." - Virginia Woolf "Charlotte Brontës roman om den forældreløse Jane Eyre er en af romanhistoriens helt store klassikere. Romanen, der nu genudgives, har det hele: Dannelse, lidenskab og en spirende kvindefrigørelse." - Per Krogh Hansen, Berlingske

"At the end we are steeped through and through with the genius, the vehemence, the indignation of Charlotte Bronte'"-Virginia Woolf "Given the action of Jane Eyre, which is in every sense dramatic, there is a pull, all the same, between action and consciousness.-Raymond Williams "Teaching the true strength of character for generations."-The Guardian Jane Eyre, (1847) the first novel from Charlotte Bronte, originally published under the pen name "Currer Bell" was an immediate commercial and literary success. This classic work was unprecedented in its forthright reproach towards Victorian social norms, moral duty, and gender inequality; It is likewise one of the most extraordinary stories of love and freedom in the English language. Jane Eyre, which follows a young woman's passageway into adulthood and the unfolding of her interior emotional states, is a singular work of genre-defying fiction. Its story begins as the eponymous heroine is orphaned and under the care of her aunt, Mrs. Reed, a well-to-do yet heartless guardian. Jane is unfairly punished, and locked into "the red room", where she collapses in fright after an encounter with the apparent ghost of her deceased Uncle Reed. Following the incident, Jane's aunt sends her away to "Lowood", an oppressive school run by the abusive and fraudulent headmaster, Mr. Brocklehurst. After an outbreak of typhoid devastates the school, a new kindly administration is installed. Jane's life finally turns around; she remains at the school for six years and eventually becomes an instructor. After teaching for several years, Jane takes a position as a governess at Thornfield, the residence of the unbridled yet elegant Edward Rochester. As Jane embraces her duties at the estate, she begins to fall in love with her employer, and much to her surprise he asks for her hand in marriage. On the wedding day it is revealed that Edward possesses deep and dark secrets, and Jane flees for the sake of her own emotional integrity. In the ensuing experiences of her retreat, Jane confronts the procession of experiences and the formidable trials of her new life with the command of her unyielding self-determination. A startling modern classic of pronto-feminism, Jane Eyre is one of the most ingenious romance novels ever written. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Jane Eyre is both modern and readable.

Jane is unfairly punished, and locked into "the red room", where she collapses in fright after an encounter with the apparent ghost of her deceased Uncle Reed. Following the incident, Jane's aunt sends her away to "Lowood", an oppressive school run by the abusive and fraudulent headmaster, Mr. Brocklehurst. After an outbreak of typhoid devastates the school, a new kindly administration is installed. Jane's life finally turns around; she remains at the school for six years and eventually becomes an instructor. After teaching for several years, Jane takes a position as a governess at Thornfield, the residence of the unbridled yet elegant Edward Rochester. As Jane embraces her duties at the estate, she begins to fall in love with her employer, and much to her surprise he asks for her hand in marriage. On the wedding day it is revealed that Edward possesses deep and dark secrets, and Jane flees for the sake of her own emotional integrity. In the ensuing experiences of her retreat, Jane confronts the procession of experiences and the formidable trials of her new life with the command of her unyielding self-determination. A startling modern classic of pronto-feminism, Jane Eyre is one of the most ingenious romance novels ever written. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Jane Eyre is both modern and readable.

Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. Charlotte Brontë's first published novel, Jane Eyre was immediately recognised as a work of genius when it appeared in 1847. Orphaned into the household of her Aunt Reed at Gateshead, subject to the cruel regime at Lowood charity school, Jane Eyre nonetheless emerges unbroken in spirit and integrity. How she takes up the post of governess at Thornfield Hall, meets and loves Mr Rochester and discovers the impediment to their lawful marriage are elements in a story that transcends melodrama to portray a woman's passionate search for a wider and richer life than that traditionally accorded to her sex in Victorian society.
