With her final novel, Villette, Charlotte Bronte reached the height of her artistic power. First published in 1853, Villette is Bronte''s most accomplished and deeply felt work, eclipsing even Jane Eyre in critical acclaim. Her narrator, the autobiographical Lucy Snowe, flees England and a tragic past to become an instructor in a French boarding school in the town of Villette. There, she unexpectedly confronts her feelings of love and longing as she witnesses the fitful romance between Dr. John, a handsome young Englishman, and Ginerva Fanshawe, a beautiful coquetter. This first pain brings others, and with them comes the heartache Lucy has tried so long to escape. Yet in spite of adversity and disappointment, Lucy Snowe survives to recount the unstinting vision of a turbulent life''s journeya journey that is one of the most insightful fictional studies of a woman''s consciousness in English literature.

Jane Eyre e senza dubbio il romanzo piu famoso di Charlotte Bronte. Sin dalla sua pubblicazione infatti, avvenuta nel 1847, il libro riscuote grande successo presso il pubblico per lintensita della narrazione e dei sentimenti descritti, non evitando di sollevare proprio per questo anche qualche nota di scandalo. Il testo narra la storia di una ragazza che, trascorsa uninfanzia triste e austera, riesce a diventare istitutrice e, come tale, trova lavoro presso Mr. Edward Rochester, uomo strano, sardonico e affetto da una tetra malinconia. Piu di ogni altra cosa, Jane Eyre e il romanzo della passione e del rigore al tempo stesso, della luce e delle ombre, capace di sprigionare dalle sue pagine la potenza evocativa del melodramma e il chiaroscuro sfumato del gotico. Il vigore con cui si manifesta in Jane lamore sa trarre dal suo spirito tutto il bene e il male che esso porta con se. Jane appare come una creatura quasi ultraterrena agli occhi del signor Rochester che crede di essere stato come stregato da lei al loro primo incontro.Charlotte Bronte nasce Thornton, Yorkshire, nel 1816, ma ben presto con la sua famiglia si trasferisce a Haworth, dove trascorrera gran parte della sua vita.

Primarily of the Bildungsroman genre, Jane Eyre follows the emotions and experiences of its eponymous heroine, including her growth to adulthood and her love for Mr. Rochester, the Byronic master of fictitious Thornfield Hall. In its internalisation of the actionthe focus is on the gradual unfolding of Janes moral and spiritual sensibility, and all the events are coloured by a heightened intensity that was previously the domain of poetryJane Eyre revolutionised the art of fiction. Charlotte Bronte has been called the first historian of the private consciousness and the literary ancestor of writers like Joyce and Proust. The novel contains elements of social criticism, with a strong sense of morality at its core, but is nonetheless a novel many consider ahead of its time given the individualistic character of Jane and the novels exploration of classism, sexuality, religion, and proto-feminism.
