Jane Eyre An Autobiography Illustrated Edition By Charlotte Bronte

Charlotte Bronte (1816-1855) was an English novelist and poet who didnt live long enough to give the world all she could have, but she is best known as being one of the three critically acclaimed Bronte sisters, along with Anne and Emily, and all three of them wrote novels that are now considered classics of English and Western literature. Charlotte and her sisters attempted to write several different novels and stories, eventually publishing a volume of poems under male pseudonyms entitled Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell. Most of the poetry was Emilys, but it didnt get popular reviews, leading the sisters to begin novels. Of all the sisters works, it is Emilys Wuthering Heights that has aged the best over time, continuing to retain its place as a classic of English literature. Annes Agnes Grey was written as a Volume III to be packaged with Wuthering Heights and was finished within a year of Emilys novel. But it was Charlotte who survived the other twos illnesses in 1848-1849, giving her nearly another decade to produce more than one novel, including The Professor and Emma. However, Charlottes most famous novel is Jane Eyre: An Autobiography, a coming of age story written as an autobiography by the title character. The novel mixes all of the best elements of Anne and Emilys works by telling the story of a childs maturation, emotions and experiences growing up, a sharp critique of society, and the Gothic romance that has made Wuthering Heights endure. The novel is often considered one of the first truly feminist portrayals, with Jane developing into a passionate, intelligent young woman who is moral and self-reliant. This edition of Jane Eyre is specially formatted with a Table of Contents and includes images.

A terrific read! It keeps you guessing throughout When the Dead Cry Out up until the dramatic twist at the end! A must read

Can't put it down! Just when I think I understand the characters... {another} twist is added. It is very entertaining characters and style of writing.
