Beskrivning
Jane Eyre is offered love, but not on equal terms. Her answer makes her one of fiction’s great heroines. A beautiful deluxe gift edition of Charlotte Brontë’s classic novel. WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY MAGGIE O’FARRELL Orphaned as a child, Jane grows up unwanted in her aunt’s house and then at a brutal school. What she carries from those years is not obedience, but a fierce inward certainty: that her life belongs to her. When Jane becomes governess at Thornfield Hall, she finds growing independence and the possibility of love. Thornfield is no ordinary house. Its master, Mr Rochester, is passionate, guarded and impossible to ignore, and the rooms around them hold secrets that will test everything Jane believes about duty, desire and self-respect. Brontë’s novel endures because Jane’s voice never loses its force: direct, searching and fiercely alive to injustice. What begins as a Gothic story of secrecy and desire becomes something more radical: the story of a woman insisting that love, if it is to be worth having, must leave her conscience intact. VINTAGE CLASSICS BRONTE SERIES: beautiful editions, three iconic stories, three extraordinary women. 'A revolutionary work of fiction.' Tanya Sweeney, The Irish Independent

Mer information

Charlotte Brontë was born on 21 April 1816. Her father was curate of Haworth, Yorkshire and her mother died when she was five years old, leaving five daughters and one son. In 1824 Charlotte, Maria, Elizabeth, and Emily were sent to Cowan Bridge, a school for clergymen's daughters, where Maria and Elizabeth both caught tuberculosis and died. The children were taught at home from this point on and together they created vivid fantasy worlds which they explored in their writing. Charlotte worked as a teacher from 1835 to 1838 and then as a governess. In 1846, along with Emily and Anne, Charlotte published Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell. After this Emily wrote Wuthering Heights, Anne wrote Agnes Grey and Charlotte wrote The Professor. Wuthering Heights and Agnes Grey were both published but Charlotte's novel was initially rejected. In 1847 Jane Eyre became her first published novel and met with immediate success. Between 1848 and 1849 Charlotte lost her remaining siblings: Emily, Branwell and Anne. She published Shirley in 1849, Villette in 1853 and in 1854 she married the Revd. Arthur Bell Nicholls. She died the next year, on 31 March 1855.
