Jane Eyre ( AIR; originally published as Jane Eyre: An Autobiography) is a novel by the English writer Charlotte Brontë. It was published under her pen name "Currer Bell" on 19 October 1847 by Smith, Elder & Co. of London. The first American edition was published the following year by Harper & Brothers of New York. Jane Eyre is a Bildungsroman which follows the experiences of its eponymous heroine, including her growth to adulthood and her love for Mr Rochester, the brooding master of Thornfield Hall.The novel revolutionised prose fiction by being the first to focus on its protagonist's moral and spiritual development through an intimate first-person narrative, where actions and events are coloured by a psychological intensity. Charlotte Brontë has been called the "first historian of the private consciousness", and the literary ancestor of writers like Marcel Proust and James Joyce.The book contains elements of social criticism with a …

A worthy classic

This was my first ever Brontë novel (no, really). I was of course familiar with the literary family but had never read any of their work (for no purposeful reason). So it was with a degree of excitement that I started Jane Eyre wondering what the popular Victorian novel could hold.

I enjoyed it from the start, and I enjoyed it more as I devoured it over three days of a holiday. Certain anachronisms aside, the social commentary was informative, and the character of Jane Eyre remarkably fresh given her age. Her personal growth throughout the novel (along with other characters') was probably the best I'd read up until that point.

Some aspects of the story I found a bit weak but overall it was a satisfying ending in the context of the time and place.

Review of 'Jane Eyre' on 'Goodreads'

Siempre me han atraído esos libros que, considerándose "clásicos" de la literatura, rompen con el canon masculino que lleva siglos imponiéndose. 'Jane Eyre' es uno de ellos, pero me parece importante advertir sobre una obviedad: fue escrito hace 200 años. Es decir, sería un error acercarnos a esta novela con la expectativa de leer algo parecido a un tratado fundacional sobre feminismo, tal y como lo entendemos ahora. No lo es. Quizá no está ni cerca de serlo. Pero es que tampoco es su función.
'Jane Eyre' me ha parecido un retrato interesantísimo de la sociedad inglesa de la primera mitad del siglo XIX, en el que, además, Charlotte Brontë se atreve a reflexionar -y esto sí considero que implica una subversión importante del mencionado canon literario hipermasculinizado- sobre la libertad y la agencia de las mujeres como entidades completas en sí mismas, y no como complemento necesariamente subyugado al …

Une lecture douce-amère.

J'écris cette chronique à chaud, juste après avoir tourné la dernière page du livre et je pense que le sentiment dans lequel je suis influencera quelque peu ma chronique.

En effet, je suis déçue de la fin de ce roman, partons tout de suite dans les spoilers, la fin me frustre vraiment. Depuis le départ de Jane de chez M. Rochester, je suis frustrée. Alors que je voyais dans cette décision la meilleure qu'elle puisse prendre, elle est revenue vers son maître alors que je pense qu'elle mérite mieux. Et pourtant elle paraît heureuse. Autre chose qui me désole, ce hasard des choses qui fait que par un miracle fou elle se soit retrouvé chez sa seule famille alors qu'elle errait seule dans la campagne anglaise...

Mais revenons sur le début du roman, j'ai eu beaucoup de mal avec la phase enfant et adolescente de Jane bien que …
