About this ebook
A number of initial reviews of the book were rather critical, declaring the storyline unnatural and absurd. Yet there were others who praised its fast pace, vigour, and spirit of humanity. Charlotte, like her protagonist, Jane, had worked as a governess for a few years. Although it may seem the similarities end there, the minute details of the story and the characters populating her canvas beg to differ.
Jane Eyre addresses multiple themes, including religion and class, and is a powerful social commentary on the times in which it was set. It has been adapted multiple times to various formats and has been an inspiration to many an author and artist since its publication.
Charlotte Bronte
Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855) was an English novelist and poet, and the eldest of the three Brontë sisters. Her experiences in boarding schools, as a governess and a teacher eventually became the basis of her novels. Under pseudonyms the sisters published their first novels; Charlotte's first published novel, Jane Eyre(1847), written under a non de plume, was an immediate literary success. During the writing of her second novel all of her siblings died. With the publication of Shirley (1849) her true identity as an author was revealed. She completed three novels in her lifetime and over 200 poems.
