Jane Eyre: An Autobiography) is a novel by English writer Charlotte Bront . It was published on 16 October 1847 by Smith, Elder Co. of London, England, under the pen name "Currer Bell." The first American edition was published the following year by Harper and 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 revolutionised the art of fiction. Charlotte Bront 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 Bront famous masterpiece in an unabridged version with the famous original illustrations by F.H. Townsend. Orphaned into the household of her Aunt Reed at Gateshead, subject to the cruel regime at Lowood charity school, Jane Eyre nonetheless emerges unbroken in spirit and integrity. She takes up the post of governess at Thornfield, falls in love with Mr. Rochester, and discovers the impediment to their lawful marriage in a story that transcends melodrama to portray a woman's passionate search for a wider and richer life than Victorian society traditionally allowed. With a captivating heroine full of yearning, the dangerous secrets she encounters, and the choices she finally makes, Charlotte Bronte's innovative, enduring and superbly told Victorian romantic novel with inspiration from and references to classic Gothic style continues to engage and provoke modern readers.

"Villette" from Charlotte Bront . English novelist and poet, the eldest of the three Bront sisters (1816-1855).

Left by harrowing circumstances to fend for herself in the great capital of a foreign country, Lucy Snowe, the narrator and heroine of Villette, achieves by degrees an authentic independence from both outer necessity and inward grief. Charlotte Bront 's last novel, published in 1853, has a dramatic force comparable to that of her other masterpiece, Jane Eyre, as well as strikingly modern psychological insight and a revolutionary understanding of human loneliness. With an introduction by Lucy Hughes-Hallet.

Versione Integrale.Shirley un "romanzo sociale" del 1849 pubblicato dopo il primo fortunato romanzo della stessa autrice, Jane Eyre (che peraltro era stato pubblicato, come questo, sotto lo pseudonimo di Currer Bell). Il romanzo ambientato nello Yorkshire negli anni 1811-1812 e tratta della depressione industriale dovuta alla guerra Napoleonica, con la conseguente reazione operaia sfociante nel luddismo. Ci nonostante non manca l'intreccio di relazione, e le due protagoniste femminili, alle prese con ci che la societ imponeva alla donna in quel periodo, sono, ancor pi che Jane Eyre, portatrice dei germi dell'emancipazione femminile. Mentre Charlotte stava scrivendo questo romanzo, morirono tre dei suoi fratelli, fra cui la sorella Emily, autrice di Cime Tempestose, e l'unica sorella rimastale, Anne. Si ritiene che il personaggio di Caroline si basi sulla sorella Anne e che la scrittrice, che aveva inizialmente progettato di far morire quel personaggio, ne cambi poi le vicende, dopo la reale morte della sorella. L'altra protagonista femminile, Shirley (nome che solo dopo questo romanzo divenne un nome femminile; prima era considerato un nome maschile), ispirato all'altra sorella, Emily, o meglio "a quella che Emily sarebbe potuta essere se fosse nata in una famiglia ricca". Il personaggio di Mrs Pryor ispirato alla direttrice della scuola che Charlotte frequent , prima come allieva, poi come insegnante.
