Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

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.

Charlotte Bront was born on April 21, 1816, in Haworth, Yorkshire. Her father was the vicar of Haworth in Yorkshire, and her mother died when she was five years old, leaving her with five daughters and a boy. Charlotte, Maria, Elizabeth, and Emily were sent to Cowan Bridge, a school for the daughters of priests, in 1824, where Maria and Elizabeth contracted disease and died. From this point forward, the children were schooled at home, and together they built fascinating imaginary worlds that they explored in their writing. Charlotte worked as a teacher and subsequently a governess from 1835 to 1838.

Charlotte published Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell with Emily and Anne in 1846. After that, Emily penned Wuthering Heights, Anne authored Agnes Grey, and Charlotte wrote The Professor. Charlotte's manuscript was initially rejected, despite the fact that Wuthering Heights and Agnes Grey were both published. Jane Eyre, her first released work, was published in 1847 and was an instant success. Charlotte's remaining siblings, Emily, Branwell, and Anne, died between 1848 and 1849.

Shirley was published in 1849, Villette in 1853, and she married the Rev. Nicholls, Arthur Bell She died the following year, on March 31, 1855.
