"Jane Eyre" - romanen om den store kjærligheten - er kanskje den mest leste engelskspråklige romanen gjennom tidene. Da den utkom i 1847, ble den straks omfavnet av leserne, og har alltid siden beholdt sin popularitet. "Jane Eyre" er en utviklingsroman og en kjærlighetsroman. Foreldreløse Jane vokser opp hos en følelseskald tante. Hun blir plassert på fattigskolen Lowood, der en nådeløs religiøs disiplin råder. Men Jane lar seg ikke knekke, og da hun får stillingen som guvernante på herregården Thornfield Hall, ser det ut til at lykken smiler til henne. I Mr. Rochester, herregårdens eier, møter hun den store kjærligheten. Det skal likevel vise seg at Thornfield Hall rommer mørke hemmeligheter.

Arcturus paperback classics edition.. Desperate to escape her unhappy past, Lucy Snowe leaves England for the Continent and takes up the post of English teacher at a girls' boarding school in the town of Villette. There, she battles with her own feelings of isolation and loneliness, not to mention the unruly and flirtatious behaviour of her students. However, an even greater challenge is the jealous watchfulness of her employer Madame Beck, who sets out to disrupt the growing affection between Lucy and the fiery-tempered professor Paul Emanuel. Villette, published in 1853, was inspired by Charlotte Brontë's own experiences as a governess in Brussels.

The Professor is Charlotte Brontës first novel, in which she audaciously inhabits the voice and consciousness of a man, William Crimsworth. Like Jane Eyre he is parentless; like Lucy Snowe in Ville...

Jane er lei av å være en ubrukelig jente i samfunnet, som er skjebnebestemt til å være på kjøkkenet. Hun vil velge sin egen fremtid.

Introduction and Notes by Dr Sally Minogue, Canterbury Christ Church University College. Jane Eyre ranks as one of the greatest and most perennially popular works of English fiction. Although the poor but plucky heroine is outwardly of plain appearance, she possesses an indomitable spirit, a sharp wit and great courage. She is forced to battle against the exigencies of a cruel guardian, a harsh employer and a rigid social order. All of which circumscribe her life and position when she becomes governess to the daughter of the mysterious, sardonic and attractive Mr Rochester. However, there is great kindness and warmth in this epic love story, which is set against the magnificent backdrop of the Yorkshire moors. Ultimately the grand passion of Jane and Rochester is called upon to survive cruel revelation, loss and reunion, only to be confronted with tragedy.

Når hittebarnet Heathcliff blir brakt til familien Earnshaws hus på Yorkshires øde heier, knyttes det raskt sterke bånd mellom ham og familiens datter Catherine. Den sterke følelsen av samhørighet følger dem helt inn i Catherines ekteskap med naboen Edgar Linton. Stormfulle høyder er en av de mest berømte og høyest skattede romaner gjennom tidene. Fortellingen om Catherine og Heathcliffs voldsomme og udødelige kjærlighet, og om familiene Lintons og Earnshaws prøvelser og gleder gjennom tre generasjoner, slutter aldri å fascinere. Over 150 år etter at den ble skrevet, er den fortsatt like aktuell.

Jane Eyre ranks as one of the greatest and most popular works of English fiction. Although Charlotte Brontë's heroine is outwardly plain, she possesses an indomitable spirit, and great courage. Forced to battle against the exigencies of a cruel guardian, a harsh employer and a rigid social order which circumscribes her life when she becomes governess to the daughter of the mysterious, sardonic Mr Rochester. Villette is based on Charlotte Brontë's personal experience as a teacher in Brussels. It is a moving tale of repressed feelings and cruel circumstances borne with heroic fortitude. Rising above the confinement of a rigid social order, it is also a story of a woman's right to love and be loved. Wuthering Heights is Emily Brontë's wild, passionate tale of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine's father. After Mr Earnshaw's death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine's brother Hindley and, wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, he leaves Wuthering heights. When he returns years later as a wealthy man, he proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries. Agnes Grey, Ann Brontë's deeply personal novel, is a trenchant expose of the frequently isolated, intellectually stagnant and emotionally starved conditions under which many governesses worked in the mid-nineteenth century. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall shows Ann Brontë's bold, naturalistic and passionate style. It is a powerful and sometimes violent novel of expectation, love, oppression, sin and betrayal. It portrays the disintegration of the marriage of Helen Huntingdon, the mysterious 'tenant' of the title, and her dissolute, alcoholic husband.

Agnes Grey is the debut novel of English author Anne Brontë, first published in December 1847, and republished in a second edition in 1850. The novel follows Agnes Grey, a governess, as she works within families of the English gentry. Scholarship and comments by Anne's sister Charlotte Brontë suggest the novel is largely based on Anne Brontë's own experiences as a governess for five years. Like her sister Charlotte's novel Jane Eyre, it addresses what the precarious position of governess entailed and how it affected a young woman.The choice of central character allows Anne to deal with issues of oppression and abuse of women and governesses, isolation and ideas of empathy. An additional theme is the fair treatment of animals. Agnes Grey also mimics some of the stylistic approaches of bildungsromans, employing ideas of personal growth and coming to age, but representing a character who in fact does not gain in virtue.The Irish novelist George Moore praised Agnes Grey as "the most perfect prose narrative in English letters,"[2] and went so far as to compare Anne's prose to that of Jane Austen. Modern critics have made more subdued claims admiring Agnes Grey with a less overt praise of Brontë's work than Moore.

The Penguin English Library Edition of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte 'The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself' Passionate, poetic and revolutionary, Jane Eyre is a novel of naked emotional power. Its story of a defiant, fiercely intelligent woman who refuses to accept her appointed place in society - and instead finds love on her own terms - has become famous as one of the greatest romances ever written, but it is also a brooding Gothic mystery, a profound depiction of character and a transformative work of the imagination.
