  • Beautiful

  • 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" :-)

Since its publication in 1847 Jane Eyre has never ceased to be one of the most widely read of English novels. Transmuted by the rare Bronte imagination, the romance of Jane and Rochester takes on a strange and unforgettable atmosphere that lifts it above the level of mere melodrama. But Charlotte Bronte intended more. She portrayed the refusal of a spirited and intelligent woman to accept her appointed place in society with unusual frankness and with a passionate sense of the dignity and needs of her sx. Q.D. Leavis's introduction brings out the revolutionary qualities of the book and its author's creation of somethign that would be true to the experience of the whoel woman and... convey a sense of life's springs and undercurrents
