Description
Jane Eyre, a plain yet spirited governess, was a new kind of heroine, one whose virtuous integrity, sharp intellect, and tireless perseverance broke through class barriers to win equal stature with the man she loved. Brontë’s novel was the first to be told in the first person in a way that revealed the quality of events as experienced through the protagonist’s mind. Her novel also ran counter to the puritanic tradition that a good woman did not need to feel passion or require it in her beloved. Hailed by William Makepeace Thackeray as “the masterwork of a great genius,” this love story is still regarded as one of the finest novels of the century.
