Introduction by Diane Johnson Commentary by G. K. Chesterton, Virginia Woolf, Elizabeth Rigby, George Saintsbury, and Anthony Trollope
Nominated as one of Americaâs best-loved novels by PBSâs The Great American Read
Initially published under the pseudonym Currer Bell in 1847, Charlotte BrontĂ«âs Jane Eyre erupted onto the English literary scene, immediately winning the devotion of many of the worldâs most renowned writers, including William Makepeace Thackeray, who declared it a work âof great genius.â Widely regarded as a revolutionary novel, BrontĂ«âs 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 worldâs most beloved novels.
