"I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself."
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
Jane Eyre is a novel by English writer Charlotte Brontë, published on 16 October 1847 under the pen name "Currer Bell." The first American edition was released the following year by Harper & Brothers of New York. Primarily of the bildungsroman genre, 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.
In its internalisation of the action - the focus is on the gradual unfolding of Jane's moral and spiritual sensibility and all the events are coloured by a heightened intensity that was previously the domain of poetry - Jane Eyre revolutionized the art of fiction. Charlotte Brontë has been called the 'first historian of the private consciousness' and the literary ancestor of writers like Joyce and Proust.
The novel contains elements of social criticism, with a strong sense of morality at its core, but is nonetheless a novel many consider ahead of its time given the individualistic character of Jane and the novel's exploration of classism, sexuality, religion, and proto-feminism.
Charlotte Brontë was a British novelist, the eldest out of the three famous Brontë sisters whose novels have become standards of English literature.
Charlotte Brontë was born in Thornton, Yorkshire, England, the third of six children, to Patrick Brontë (formerly "Patrick Brunty"), an Irish Anglican clergyman, and his wife, Maria Branwell. In April 1820 the family moved a few miles to Haworth, a remote town on the Yorkshire moors, where Patrick had been appointed Perpetual Curate. This is where the Brontë children would spend most of their lives. Maria Branwell Brontë died from what was thought to be cancer on 15 September 1821, leaving five daughters and a son to the care of her spinster sister Elizabeth Branwell, who moved to Yorkshire to help the family.

Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855), English writer noted for her novel Jane Eyre (1847), sister of Anne Brontë and Emily Brontë. The three sisters are almost as famous for their short, tragic lives as for their novels. The collection of poems, Poems By Currer, Ellis And Acton Bell (1846), which Charlotte wrote with her sisters, sold only two copies. Her novel The Professor never found a publisher during her lifetime. Undeterred by this rejection, Charlotte began Jane Eyre, which appeared in 1847 and became an immediate success. Jane Eyre was followed by Shirley (1848) and Vilette (1853).
Half-Blown Rose is a story drenched in travel, art, music, and romance. It was sparked by a trip to Paris I’d taken with my family in Summer 2019. I wrote most of Half-Blown Rose in 2020 at my kitchen table. It was a lovely escape to create these characters in this immersive story where people […]
“But at the end of the day, so many people have lost a loved one. This story is about mothers and daughters. It’s about parents and children. It’s about a different culture and relating to it. It’s about food. It’s about grief. It’s about loss. It’s about family.” Two-time GRAMMY nominee Michelle Zauner (Japanese Breakfast) […]
Picture this: you’re driving in the middle of nowhere late at night. You look to your left, and there, off in the distance atop a tree-lined hill, looms an old, well-worn Victorian house. What kind of horrors might linger behind those heavy doors? Are there long-forgotten secrets hidden deep in the basement, or ominous spirits roaming […]
