Best Selling Books by Charlotte Bronte

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.

Illustrated - Includes more than 15 The Bront�s were a nineteenth-century literary family associated with the village of Haworth in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England. The sisters, Charlotte (1816-1855), Emily (1818-1848), and Anne (1820-1849), are well known as poets and novelists. Like many contemporary female writers, they originally published their poems and novels under male pseudonyms: Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell. Their stories immediately attracted attention, although not always the best, for their passion and originality. Charlotte''s Jane Eyre was the first to know success, while Emily''s Wuthering Heights, Anne''s The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and other works were later to be accepted as masterpieces of literature.The three sisters and their brother, Branwell, were very close and during childhood developed their imaginations first through oral storytelling and play set in an intricate imaginary world, and then through the collaborative writing of increasingly complex stories set therein.The deaths of first their mother, and then of their two older sisters marked them profoundly and influenced their writing, as did the relative isolation in which they were raised.Their home, the parsonage at Haworth in Yorkshire, now the Bront� Parsonage Museum, has become a place of pilgrimage for hundreds of thousands of visitors each year
