Initially published under the pseudonym Currer Bell in 1847, Charlotte Brontรซโs Jane Eyre erupted onto the English literary scene, immediately winning the devotion of many of the worldโs most renowned writers, including William Makepeace Thackeray, who declared it a work โof great genius.โ Widely regarded as a revolutionary novel, Brontรซโs 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 worldโs most beloved novels.
