Her natural independence and spirit prove necessary when she takes a position as governess at Thornfield Hall. But when she finds love with her sardonic employer, Rochester, the discovery of a shameful secret forces her to make a terrible choice. Edited with an Introduction and notes by STEVIE DAVIES

Jane Eyre er fortællingen om den forældreløse og fattige Jane, der vokser op i 1800-tallets England hos sin onkel og dennes tyranniske kone og børn, der mishandler hende både fysisk og psykisk og til sidst beslutter at sende hende til kostskolen Lowood. På Lowood bliver Jane nedgjort og ydmyget af den ondskabsfulde inspektør pastor Brocklehurst, men hun knytter også nære og varme relationer, som får stor indflydelse på resten af hendes liv. Da Janes skoletid er forbi, og efter at have arbejdet nogle år som lærerinde på Lowood, får hun arbejde som guvernante på det store gods Thornfield Hall. Her stifter hun bekendtskab med godsets ejer, den mystiske Mr Rochester, som hun senere forelsker sig i, men både Thornfield Hall og Mr Rochester gemmer på dystre hemmeligheder, der tvinger Jane ud i svære beslutninger."Bogen er den dag i dag tilfredsstillende for fantasien, fordi den rummer alle de elementære ønskedrømselementer og samtidig følger urtypen på en 'rigtig historie' – selve eventyrets linie. Der er ikke så forfærdelig mange bøger i verdenslitteraturen, der har denne elementære dragning, og de der er der, elskes uforandret gennem generationer." - Elsa Gress"Så åbner vi Jane Eyre … Forfatteren har fat i vores hånd og fører os med på hendes vej, får os til at se, hvad hun ser, forlader os ikke et øjeblik eller lader os glemme hende. Til sidst er vi gennemtrængt af Charlotte Brontës geni, hendes heftighed, hendes indignation … Det er den røde og urolige glød fra hjertets brand, der illuminerer hendes sider." - Virginia Woolf"Charlotte Brontës roman om den forældreløse Jane Eyre er en af romanhistoriens helt store klassikere. Romanen, der nu genudgives, har det hele: Dannelse, lidenskab og en spirende kvindefrigørelse." - Per Krogh Hansen, Berlingske

Ny oversættelseJane Eyre er den victorianske askepot-historie om den forladte pige, der vokser op som udstødt først hos sin tante – siden på en kostskole for forældreløse piger. Men Jane Eyre er andet og mere end det; kreativ, videbegærlig og ambitiøs, som hun er, får hun arbejde som guvernante på et gods tilhørende den vilde og sprudlende mr. Rochester med de mere ”mørke” sider. Jane er derimod følelsesmæssigt et ubeskrevet blad, da hun møder Rochester, men sammen med ham lærer hun gradvist sine følelser og lidenskaber at kende. Et universelt og nuanceret portræt af en selvstændig kvindes udvikling og selvrealisation.Denne nye oversættelse af Charlotte Brontës evige klassiker om Jane Eyre består af to bind. Dette er det første.Den engelske romanforfatter Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855) er især kendt for Jane Eyre, der føjede nye og mere realistiske nuancer til victoriansk fiktion. Hun var den ældste og mest produktive af de tre Brontësøstre, hvor Emily Brontë er mest kendt for Stormfulde højder, og Anne Brontë for Agnes Grey.Jane Eyre (1845) var Charlotte Brontës første roman og skulle blive et af de allermest kendte og berømmede værker fra den klassiske engelske victoriatid. Genfærd, mystiske hændelser, låste værelser, afdøde personer, der får markant indflydelse på romanernes handling – dette var emner, den såkaldte gotiske roman tog op, godt inspireret af samtidens store interesse for det overnaturlige – og for det spirende psykologiske. Også i Jane Eyre findes disse virkemidler, og tilbage står man med en roman, som hensætter læsereni gys og spænding.De gotiske romaner skulle over én kam komme til at skabe inspiration for meget senere litteratur og danne grobund for mange især kvindelige forfattere, der i de tre Brontë-søstre fandt stærke forbilleder. Brontë-søstrene skabte værker, der i dag stadig står som varige fyrtårne i den klassiske litteratur. Charlotte Brontës roman om Jane Eyre er et af dem.

Charlotte Bront's novel "Jane Eyre" was first published in 1847. Jane Eyre is the bildungsroman whose plot follows the development of the eponymous character throughout her maturation into a grownup and her attraction to Mr. Rochester, the master of the nearby Thornfield Hall. The novel is noteworthy because of its revolutionary way of prose fiction, because it had been among the first to concentrate on the spiritual and moral growth of its protagonist through an individual first-person account.It's set in northern England during the early 19th century and it is arranged into 5 separate stages. Childhood at Gateshead Hall, schooling at Lowood School, governess at Thornhill Hall, time at Moor House, along with reunion and union with Mr. Rochester. The novel looks at social problems as well as ideas at all phases - some of which challenge the status quo - race, sexuality, faith, feminism.Individualism, moral conviction as well as character are defining features of Jane Eyre's character. The novel also includes social criticism anchored in Christian morality.

The novel concludes with Jane reconnection with Rochester after he's been blinded as well as hurt, and their ensuing union and content life.The "Jane Eyre" series is renowned for its complexities and advanced thinking views, especially in its portrayal of Jane as an independent, driven woman protagonist.Charlotte Bront's "Jane Eyre" is an intricate and richly detailed novel which permits very much to examine. Listed here are major findings from its analysis: Bildungsroman Genre: . "Jane Eyre" is a bildungsroman which charts Jane's psychological and moral growth from her infancy to her adulthood. The journey is not just physical but also profoundly psychological, expressing the character's inner strength as well as moral resolve.The relation between Feminism and Social Critiques: Jane Eyre is frequently acknowledged as a very early feminist novel. Jane's persona challenges traditional female expectations of the 19th century. She values her self worth and also wants emotional and financial independence, wants equality of relationships and believes in self worth. The novel critiques the few choices attainable to women of the era as well as questions class and gender conventions.Gothic Features: This novel includes elements of the Gothic style - the enigmatic Thornfield Hall, the town Byronic hero Mr. Mr. Rochester and also the madwoman in the attics. The psychological and emotional depth of the novel is enhanced by these elements that produce a feeling of suspens e and foreboding.Religion as well as Morality: "Jane Eyre" is a religious tale. The novel concentrates on different religious figures and how they impacted Jane, like Mr. Brocklehurst as well as Helen Burns, who all practice hypocrisy and compassionate Christianity. The book deals with Jane's spiritual and moral growth as she applies her principles in a world which frequently opposes her values.

What is the meaning of the mysterious laughter that Jane Eyre hears at Thornfield Hall whenever there is a full moon? And who is the strange Grace Poole she sees every so often in its corridors? Jane discovers the answers as, on the threshold of a bigamous marriage, she is told Rochester's dark secret and flees Thornfield for the inhospitable wilderness of the Derbyshire moors. This orphan's changing fortunes after her humiliating upbringing; her battles for physical and spiritual independence; and her thoughts on marriage and female independence are just some of the themes touched on by Charlotte Bronte in this her first, and most famous, novel.Originally published in 1847 to universal acclaim and admiration, Jane Eyre is as grippingly relevant today as it was one hundred and fifty years ago.

This book is part of the Everyman series which has been re-set with wide margins and easy-to-read type and includes a themed introduction, a chronology of the life and times of the author, a plot summary, annotated reading list and critical response.

Jane Eyre is a wildly emotional romance with a lonely heroine and a tormented Byronic hero, pathetic orphans, dark secrets, and a madwoman in the attic. When it was published in 1847, it was a great popular success. The power of the writing, the masterly handling of the narrative, and the boldly realistic style were much admired. But many found it difficult to believe that Currer Bell, the pseudonymous author, was Charlotte Brontë , a young woman from a bleak Yorkshire parsonage.

After a tragedy in her family, Lucy Snow leaves her home to become a teacher at a French boarding school. Lucy soon begins to fight against an overwhelming sense of desolation. Meeting a charming doctor and a strict, peculiar schoolmaster changes her life forever-- and threatens to break her spirit. Villette is noted not so much for its plot as for its acute tracing of Lucy's psychology. The novel, in a gothic setting simultaneously explores themes of isolation, doubling, displacement, and subversion and each of their impacts upon the protagonist's psyche. Villette is sometimes celebrated as an exploration of gender roles and repression. In The Madwoman in the Attic, critics Sandra Gilbert and Susan Gubar have argued that the character of Lucy Snowe is based in part on William Wordsworth's Lucy poems. Gilbert and Gubar emphasise the idea of feminine re-writing. Some critics have explored the issues of Lucy's psychological state in terms of what they call "patriarchal constructs" which form her cultural context. Villette also explores isolation and cross-cultural conflict in Lucy's attempts to master the French language, as well as conflicts between her English Protestantism and Catholicism. Her denunciation of Catholicism is unsparing: e.g. "God is not with Rome."

The novel Jane Eyre is a first-person narrative of the title character. The novel is set somewhere in the north of England, during the reign of George III (1760-1820), and goes through five distinct stages: Jane's childhood at Gateshead Hall, where she is emotionally and physically abused by her aunt and cousins; her education at Lowood School, where she acquires friends and role models but suffers privations and oppression; her time as governess at Thornfield Hall, where she falls in love with her Byronic employer, Edward Rochester; her time with the Rivers family, during which her earnest but cold clergyman cousin, St. John Rivers, proposes to her; and her reunion with, and marriage to, her beloved Rochester. During these sections the novel provides perspectives on a number of important social issues and ideas, many of which are critical of the status quo (see the Themes section below). Literary critic Jerome Beaty opines that the close first person perspective leaves the reader "too uncritically accepting of her worldview", and often leads reading and conversation about the novel towards supporting Jane, regardless of how irregular her ideas or perspectives
