Published on 16 October 1847, Charlotte Bronte?s Jane Eyre was originally titled Jane Eyre: An Autobiography. The novel earned its author the distinction of being ?the first historian of the private consciousness?.
Jane Eyre, an orphan, living with her cruel aunt is punished for bullying her cousin and imprisoned in a ?red room?.This is the same room where Jane?s uncle had died. Locked in, a young Jane is haunted by her uncle?s screams. Memories of an oppressive upbringing follow her like a shadow even at Lowood Charity School where she finds herself at the mercy of an abusive headmaster.
As a governess at Thornfield Hall, Jane falls in love with her mysterious Byronic employer, Edward Rochester. Soon, she discovers a bitter truth about him and his ?mad? wife Bertha Mason.
After a series of crests and troughs when Jane is ready to embark on yet another unpredictable journey, she is compelled to return to the man she had once abandoned.
Charlotte Bronte
Born in Yorkshire, England, in April 1816, Charlotte Brontë was the third of the six children of Patrick and Maria Brontë. The Professor, Charlotte’s first manuscript, was not accepted by publishers. It was published posthumously in 1857. Jane Eyre: An Autobiography was published in October 1847, by Smith, Elder and Co. of London, under the pen name ‘Currer Bell.’ Jane Eyre, with its depiction of feminism, achieved immediate success. But the publication of Wuthering Heights by Ellis Bell (Emily) and Agnes Grey by Acton Bell (Anne) intensified the speculation about the identity and gender of the mysterious Currer Bell. it resulted in the critical reaction to her work. Shirley, her second novel, was published in 1849 and in 1853 appeared Villette, her fourth novel. Charlotte married Arthur Bell Nicholls in June 1854. She died in March 1855, aged thirty eight, with her unborn child. She was buried in the family vault in the Church of St. Michael and All Angels at Haworth.
