Jane Eyre
"Jane Eyre," originally published as "Jane Eyre: An Autobiography," is a novel by English writer Charlotte Brontë. Released on October 16, 1847, by Smith, Elder & Co. in London under the pen name "Currer Bell," the first American edition came out the following year through Harper & Brothers in New York. This bildungsroman genre novel traces the emotional journey and experiences of its protagonist, Jane Eyre, as she matures into adulthood and falls in love with Mr. Rochester, the Byronic master of the fictional Thornfield Hall.
"Jane Eyre" revolutionized fiction by focusing on the internalization of action, highlighting Jane's moral and spiritual development, and infusing the narrative with an intensity previously reserved for poetry. Charlotte Brontë is often regarded as the "first historian of the private consciousness," influencing later writers such as James Joyce and Marcel Proust. The novel offers social criticism with a strong moral foundation and is seen as ahead of its time due to its exploration of classism, sexuality, religion, and proto-feminism through the individualistic character of Jane.
