Will she survive on her own? Embark upon the heartwarming journey of Jane Eyre''s life as she finds independence, and seeks love and happiness in different places and people.

Charlotte Bronte tells an amazing story about a woman who faces issues of respect in an era when women were not permitted to stand up to society. Eventually Jane finds an employer that supports her but the shadowy and ominous Mr. Rochester, hides a dreadful secret that threatens Jane''s happiness.This timeless novel highlights the abuse and neglect that the orphaned Jane Eyre faced while growing up. This story opens with Jane Eyre being shipped off to be cared for by her uncle Mr. Reed who lived at the Gateshead Hall. Her uncle was always kind to her but his wife, Sarah Reed was anything but. Sarah''s son John and Sarah''s two daughters also contributed to Jane''s torment. Jane was excluded from all family activities and found solace only in her books and dolls. One day John knocked her down and she tried to defend herself. This earned her a traumatic lock up in the room where her uncle died. At one point, she thought that she could see his ghost and this so terrified the poor child that an apothecary had to be called in. The kind man advised Sarah Reed to send Jane off to boarding school and she was subsequently sent to Lowood. Seen through Jane''s eyes, Lowood was only marginally better than Gateshead but at least she had friends there. The book will take you way back to the days of bumpy carriage rides and class discrimination. It is also a glimpse into some historical aspects of England centuries ago and the antiquated notions that were held at the time.

Jane Eyre (originally published as Jane Eyre: An Autobiography) is a novel by English writer Charlotte Brontë, published under the pen name "Currer Bell", on 16 October 1847, by Smith, Elder & Co. of London. The first American edition was published the following year by Harper & Brothers of New York. Jane Eyre is a Bildungsroman which follows the experiences of its eponymous heroine, including her growth to adulthood and her love for Mr. Rochester, the brooding master of Thornfield Hall. 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. The book contains elements of social criticism with a strong sense of Christian morality at its core, and it is considered by many to be ahead of its time because of Jane''s individualistic character and how the novel approaches the topics of class, sexuality, religion, and feminism. It, along with Jane Austen''s Pride and Prejudice, is one of the most famous romance novels of all time. My Website: LYFREEDOM.COM

Initially published under the pseudonym Currer Bell in 1847, Charlotte Brontë''s Jane Eyreerupted onto the English literary scene, immediately winning the devotion of many of the world''s most renowned writers, including William Makepeace Thackeray, who declared it a work "of great genius." Widely regarded as a revolutionary novel, Brontë''s masterpiece introduced the world to a radical new type of heroine, one whose defiant virtue and moral courage departed sharply from the more acquiescent and malleable female characters of the day. Passionate, dramatic, and surprisingly modern, Jane Eyre endures as one of the world''s most beloved novels.

Charlotte Brontë reached the height of her artistic power in Villette, an accomplished and deeply felt final novel. The critical acclaim it received eclipsed that of Jane Eyre, with rave reviews from George Eliot, Virginia Woolf, and more. The autobiographical narrator, Lucy Snowe, flees England and her tragic past to become a governess in a French boarding school in the town of Villette. There, her struggle for independence is challenged by both her friendship with a worldly and handsome English doctor and her feelings for an autocratic schoolmaster, and Brontë’s modern heroine must decide if there is any man in her society with whom she can live and still feel free. Yet in spite of the adversity, Lucy recounts her turbulent life’s journey—one that is one of the most insightful fictional studies of 19th century woman’s consciousness in literature.

Illustrations by-Edmund Dulac ( 2 Paintings) and-John Jellicoe (6 Drawings)-Two Photos.Annotations-Villette Summary-Villette Character List-Villette Glossary-Villette ThemesCharlotte Brontë wrote not one but two masterpieces. Most readers know Jane Eyre. Even non-readers feel they know it, because they have seen a film version, or just because it is a part of our common culture. But Villette, Brontë''s last and - to my mind - greatest novel, is less popular, perhaps because it is so uncompromising and so original. It is high time it was recognised as the blazing work it is. Reading it you enter an area of experience - of passion and disappointment and the violent return of the repressed - that has seldom been so lucidly articulated.It is also an astonishing piece of writing, a book in which phantasmagorical set pieces alternate with passages of minute psychological exploration, and in which Brontë''s marvellously flexible prose veers between sardonic wit and stream-of-consciousness, in which the syntax bends and flows and threatens to dissolve completely in the heat of madness, drug-induced hallucination and desperate desire."Villette! Villette!" wrote George Eliot. "It is a still more wonderful book than Jane Eyre. There is something almost preternatural in its power." It was unlike the strong-minded Eliot to be reduced to exclamation marks and vague talk of a "something". But Villette was so innovative for its time, and remains to this day so potently strange, that critics have struggled to find words to describe it. "There are so few books, and so many volumes," wrote Eliot''s partner GH Lewes. "Among the few stands Villette." Lewes thought it was unique. Lesser authors were "reverberating the vague noise of others". Brontë spoke out boldly in a voice that was all her own.Villette is the most autobiographical of Brontë''s novels. In it, she elaborates on the true story of her unrequited love for a married schoolmaster called Constantin Héger. In 1842 Brontë, then aged 26, went with her sister Emily to Brussels. There they worked as student-teachers in the Hégers'' school with the intention of perfecting their French, and returning home to set up a school of their own.Emily, miserably homesick for the Yorkshire moors, left first. Charlotte stayed for two years, and subsequently wrote Monsieur Héger a series of letters to which he, probably in obedience to his wife, never replied. Brontë saw him as her intellectual mentor, but the yearning tone of her letters, and the two novels for which her Belgian experiences provided her with raw material, make it obvious that she was in love with him.

Villette /viːˈlɛt/ is an 1853 novel written by English author Charlotte Brontë. After an unspecified family disaster, the protagonist Lucy Snowe travels from her native England to the fictional French-speaking city of Villette to teach at a girls'' school, where she is drawn into adventure and romance.Villette was Charlotte Brontë''s third and last novel; it was preceded by The Professor (her posthumously published first novel, of which Villette is a reworking), Jane Eyre, and Shirley.

The novel is set against a backdrop of the Luddite uprisings in the Yorkshire textile industry.The novel''s popularity led to Shirley''s becoming a woman''s name.

Featuring an appendix of discussion questions, the Diversion Classics edition is ideal for use in book groups and classrooms. Written amidst great personal tragedy in Charlotte Bronte’s life, her second novel after Jane Eyre looks toward a complicated, but brighter future. Set in a rapidly industrializing England in a time of social and economic unrest, Shirley bridges two very different worlds. Caroline Helstone, reeling from the loss of her father, abandoned by her mother, has been doomed to a life of poverty. To make matters worse, the only man she has feelings for, Robert Moore, must marry into wealth or risk losing his family mill. Robert proposes to Shirley, a woman set free by her inheritance and newly-found wealth and independence. The path towards matrimony winds as people seek happiness and enlightenment on the dawn of an exciting—and anxious—tomorrow. Part compelling romance, part searing social commentary, Shirley, following the tremendous success of Jane Eyre, is a revolutionary novel.
