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.
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.
Introducción de Marta Pessarrodona. Charlotte Brontë aporta a la novela inglesa la conciencia emocional del autor en la bora de ficción, una aportación importante ya en un terreno literario general, de la misma manera que, pocos años más tarde, una George Eliot aportará un nuevo realismo aprendido del positivismo y de la investigación científica.
Tras permanecer un año y medio en el internado de Roe Head, Charlotte regresa convertida en una joven e instruida señorita. Durante los próximos tres años creará su imaginario mundo de Verdópolis. Este periodo sera crucial para forjar a la futura escritora. En el año siguiente veran la luz El huerfano (La saga de Verdopolis, I, publicado en nuestra coleccion El pais de las damas) y El enano verde. Charlotte Bronte y su hermano Branwell crearon un mundo enclavado en una ficticia Africa dominada por las intrigas de la aristocracia de Verdopolis, donde se enfrentan dos facciones dominantes y rivales: la del duque de Wellington y la de Alexander Percy.Charlotte Bronte rememora los primeros tiempos de Verdopolis, la Ciudad de Cristal, años de hazañas heroicas, de aventureros y de rufianes: mercaderes turcos, bronceados españoles, cretinos y biliosos ingleses y marchitos monseñores que parecen haberse escapado de una novela de Walter Scott.
