Jane Eyre is a novel by English writer Charlotte Bronte, published under the pen name "Currer Bell", on 16 October 1847.

 


The story 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 Bronte 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 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.
