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

Jane Eyre es una novela publicada en 1847 que -en el momento de su aparición- consiguió gran popularidad, encumbrando a la autora como una de las mejores novelistas románticas, y es hoy considerada un clásico de la literatura en lengua inglesa. Tuvo un éxito inmediato, tanto para los lectores como para la crítica. Uno de sus más acérrimos defensores fue el escritor William Makepeace Thackeray, al cual muchos atribuyeron la obra, pues la autora permaneció en el anonimato hasta un tiempo después de su publicación. Como agradecimiento, Charlotte le dedicó la segunda edición de su novela. La novela es considerada una de las primeras novelas feministas.

Jane Eyre, erstmals erschienen im Jahr 1847, ist der erste veröffentlichte Roman der britischen Autorin Charlotte Brontë und ein Klassiker der viktorianischen Romanliteratur des 19. Jahrhunderts. Der Roman erzählt die Lebensgeschichte von Jane Eyre, die nach einer schweren Kindheit eine Stelle als Gouvernante annimmt und sich in ihren Arbeitgeber verliebt, jedoch immer wieder um ihre Freiheit und Selbstbestimmung kämpfen muss.

No man likes to acknowledge that he has made a mistake in the choice of his profession, and every man, worthy of the name, will row long against wind and tide before he allows himself to cry out, "I am baffled!" and submits to be floated passively back to land. From the first week of my residence in X---- I felt my occupation irksome.

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

Having thus acknowledged what I owe those who have aided and approved me, I turn to another class; a small one, so far as I know, but not, therefore, to be overlooked. I mean the timorous or carping few who doubt the tendency of such books as Jane Eyre: in whose eyes whatever is unusual is wrong; whose ears detect in each protest against bigotry -that parent of crime- an insult to piety, that regent of God on earth. I would suggest to such doubters certain obvious distinctions; I would remind them of certain simple truths.

Jane Eyre follows the emotions and experiences of its title character, including her growth to adulthood, and her love for Mr. Rochester, the byronic master of fictitious Thornfield Hall. The story focusses on the gradual unfolding of Jane's moral and spiritual sensibility during her growth and development.

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."
