Jane Eyre

"We find ourselves with a novel that was ahead of its time, both in the narrative and the theme, a work that transcends romanticism to enter autobiographical and ideological territories. The character of Jane Eyre is the portrait of a woman who fights to be recognized as valuable as anyone else. This message is now more valid than ever."--Provided by publisher.

Charlotte Bronte is a well-known author. She attended a boarding school that was the inspiration behind Jane Eyre. Unfortunately, the terrible conditions there led her to contract tuberculosis.
