1891 JANE EYRE Charlotte Bronte Gothic Feminism Currer Bell CLASSIC Novel Leather
"I would always rather be happy than dignified."
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
First appearing in October of 1847, 'Jane Eyre' was immediately popular, and the public demanded more print runs. In January and April of the following year, second and third editions were quickly reproduced. Charlotte Bronte's 'Jane Eyre' follows the story of Jane and her transformation into adulthood and her discovery of own moral compass. This timeless novel was far beyond its time as it explored the world of sexuality, feminism, and religion through the lens of a female protagonist.

Synopsis
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…
