About this book

Jane Eyre is a famous and influential novel by the English writer Charlotte Brontë. It was published in London, England in 1847 by Smith, Elder & Co. with the title Jane Eyre, an Autobiography under the pen name "Currer Bell". 

Orphaned as a child, Jane felt like an outcast during her childhood. She was sent by her cruel aunt to a boarding school where she was met with further torment. After the devastating loss of a friend, she finds herself enrolled under a new headmaster at the Lowood School and finds her life drastically changed. She spends eight more years at Lowood, six as a student and two as a teacher. Her courage is tested once again when she arrives at Thornfield Hall, where she has been hired by the brooding, proud Edward Rochester to care for his ward Adèle. Jane finds herself drawn to his troubled yet kind spirit. She falls in love. Hard. But there is a terrifying secret inside the gloomy, forbidding Thornfield Hall…


From the publisher

What is the meaning of the mysterious laughter that Jane Eyre hears at Thornfield Hall whenever there is a full moon? And who is the strange Grace Poole she sees every so often in its corridors? Jane discovers the answers as, on the threshold of a bigamous marriage, she is told Rochester's dark secret and flees Thornfield for the inhospitable wilderness of the Derbyshire moors. This orphan's changing fortunes after her humiliating upbringing; her battles for physical and spiritual independence; and her thoughts on marriage and female independence are just some of the themes touched on by Charlotte Bronte in this her first, and most famous, novel.

Originally published in 1847 to universal acclaim and admiration, Jane Eyre is as grippingly relevant today as it was one hundred and fifty years ago.
