Book Description
Charlotte Brontë characterized the eponymous heroine of her 1847 novel as being "as poor and plain as myself." Presenting a heroine with neither great beauty nor entrancing charm was an unprecendented maneuver, but Brontë's instincts proved correct, for readers of her era and ever after have taken Jane Eyre into their hearts. The author drew upon her own experience to depict Jane's struggles at Lowood, an oppressive boarding school, and her troubled career as a governess. Unlike Jane, Brontë had the advantage of a warm family circle that shared and encouraged her literary pursuits. She found immediate success with this saga of an orphan girl forced to make her way alone in the world, from Lowood School to Thornfield, the estate of the majestically moody Mr. Rochester, and beyond. Unabridged republication of a standard edition.

Perhaps I'm partial, but this probably one of the best Gothic novels ever written. It has mystery, oppression, love, fire, and crazy woman in an large house. What more is needed? How about a leading lady the reader can actually connect with. So many other Gothic novels have heroines that are too perfect, Jane is just like the rest of us, imperfect. That's why this novel has stood the test of time.
