About this Book

Jane Eyre is a novel by English writer Charlotte Brontë, published under the pen name 'Currer Bell', on 19 October 1847. It revolutionized prose fiction by being the first to focus on its protagonist's moral and spiritual development through an intimate, first-person narrative. The novel follows the emotions and experiences of its eponymous heroine, from her abusive childhood through her employment as a governess at Thornfield Hall, where she falls in love with her brooding, mysterious employer, Edward Rochester.
