Much more interesting than you may think.

All that literary criticism aside-this is a great book. The story has wonderful twists and turns and the characters are well rounded and likeable. A very enjoyable read. (If you find some classics hardgoing it is worth noting that this is a farely easy read.)

Jane Eyre - revisited
|
|
I decided recently to read or re-read some of the Classics. I remember giving up on Jane Eyre as a teenager as I found it hard going but I am certainly glad that I decided to give it another go. It is poignant and beautifully desciptive - I enjoyed every minute of it.

One of the greatest love stories of all time
|
The classic tale of her growth from child to woman, the story tells of Jane Eyre's discovery of true love and her 'true self'. Written in the mid Nineteenth Century by a then unknown female author, it seethes with surpressed passion and forbidden love. Shuttleworths excellent introduction offers many new ideas on Bronte's novel. A gripping tale of love, cruelty, suspense and the supernatural. A must for all romantics
