Jane Eyre

Introduction and Notes by Dr Sally Minogue, Canterbury Christ Church University College. Jane Eyre ranks as one of the greatest and most perennially popular works of English fiction. Although the poor but plucky heroine is outwardly of plain appearance, she possesses an indomitable spirit, a sharp wit and great courage. She is forced to battle against the exigencies of a cruel guardian, a harsh employer and a rigid social order. All of which circumscribe her life and position when she becomes governess to the daughter of the mysterious, sardonic and attractive Mr Rochester. However, there is great kindness and warmth in this epic love story, which is set against the magnificent backdrop of the Yorkshire moors. Ultimately the grand passion of Jane and Rochester is called upon to survive cruel revelation, loss and reunion, only to be confronted with tragedy.Author: Minogue, Dr Sally,introduction,Brontë, Charlotte,author,Carabine, Dr Keith,series_editor Contributors: Minogue, Dr Sally,introduction,Brontë, Charlotte,author,Carabine, Dr Keith,series_editor Binding: paperback Number Of Pages: 448 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Edition: Reprint Published/Release Date: 5 May 1992 Bic Classification: Classic fiction (pre c 1945) bicCode: Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Wordsworth Editions Ltd Author/Director/Artist: Charlotte Bronte Dimension (cm): 196x127x23 mm Package Dimension (cm): 36x197x125 mm Item Weight (g): 272 Package Weight (g): 249
