Jane Eyre
A 19th century heroine
Jane Eyre is a novel by English writer Charlotte Brontë, published under
the pen name "Currer Bell", on 16 October 1847. The novel revolutionised
prose fiction by being the first to focus on its protagonist's moral and
spiritual development through an intimate first-person narrative, where
actions and events are coloured by a psychological intensity. Charlotte
Brontë has been called the "first historian of the private
consciousness", and the literary ancestor of writers like Proust and
Joyce.
