Jane Eyre (Worldview Edition)

Jane Eyre (Worldview Edition)"Bronte reached the highest romance through the lowest realism." G. K. Chesterton Look Inside the Book "Bronte introduced the literary world to a sphere it had yet to see and, ironically, one larger than it could contain. In Janes struggle, the novel presents an argument, persuasive mainly through its pathos, against the 19th century norms of classism, gender roles, marriage, passion versus restraint, and convention versus truth." From Amanda Ryan's

Look Inside the Book

"Brontë introduced the literary world to a sphere it had yet to see and, ironically, one larger than it could contain. In Jane’s struggle, the novel presents an argument, persuasive mainly through its pathos, against the 19th century norms of classism, gender roles, marriage, passion versus restraint, and convention versus truth." -From Amanda Ryan's Introduction

Fires, secrets, dashing heroes, imposters, sudden revelations, and more make this book an unforgettable read. Jane Eyre goes from spoiled brat to hard-working governess to fiance of a rich and mysterious landowner and finally a woman who can rely on her own talents and strengths. This sensational tale is told through unnoticed but observant eyes of an ordinary heroine. It is this rare combination of prosaic authenticity and groundbreaking sensationalism that would transform the novel irreversibly.
