About this book

Jane Eyre is a famous and influential novel by the English writer Charlotte Brontë. It was published in London, England in 1847 by Smith, Elder & Co. with the title Jane Eyre, an Autobiography under the pen name "Currer Bell". 

Orphaned as a child, Jane felt like an outcast during her childhood. She was sent by her cruel aunt to a boarding school where she was met with further torment. After the devastating loss of a friend, she finds herself enrolled under a new headmaster at the Lowood School and finds her life drastically changed. She spends eight more years at Lowood, six as a student and two as a teacher. Her courage is tested once again when she arrives at Thornfield Hall, where she has been hired by the brooding, proud Edward Rochester to care for his ward Adèle. Jane finds herself drawn to his troubled yet kind spirit. She falls in love. Hard. But there is a terrifying secret inside the gloomy, forbidding Thornfield Hall…


From the publisher

Charlotte Bronte's impassioned novel "Jane Eyre" is the love story of a plain yet spirited governess and her employer, the arrogant and brusque Mr. Rochester. Published in 1847, under the pseudonym Currer Bell, the book featured a new kind of heroine -- one who manages to thrive on her integrity, intellect, and fullness of heart in order to overcome isolation, adversity, and class barriers. Over a century later, "Jane Eyre" is still regarded as one of the classic novels of English literature.

Pocket Books Enriched Classics present the great works of world literature enhanced for the contemporary reader. This edition of "Jane Eyre" has been prepared by Laurie Langbauer, professor of English at the University of North Carolina. It includes her introduction, which contains essential biographical and historical background, textual notes, a selection of critical excerpts, and suggestions for further reading, as well as a unique visual essay of period illustrations and photographs.
