  • Most beautiful English I have ever read.

    I also highly recommend 1983 or 1984? BBC Jane Eyre mini-series by Timothy Dalton & Zelah Clark for the "Eyre-heads" :-)

A new edition of one of Penguin's top ten Classics—the novel that has been “teaching true strength of character for generations”
(The Guardian)

A novel of intense power and intrigue, Jane Eyre has dazzled generations of readers with its depiction of a woman's quest for freedom. This updated edition features a new introduction discussing the novel's political and magical dimensions.

Having grown up an orphan in the home of her cruel aunt and at a harsh charity school, Jane Eyre becomes an independent and spirited survivor—qualities that serve her well as governess at Thornfield Hall. But when she finds love with her sardonic employer, Rochester, the discovery of his terrible secret forces her to make a choice. Should she stay with him whatever the consequences or follow her convictions, even if it means leaving her beloved?
