Jane Eyre, the story of a
young girl and her passage into adulthood was an immediate commercial success
at the time of its original publication in 1847. Its representation of the
the underside of domestic life and the hypocrisy behind religious enthusiasm drew
both praise and bitter criticism, while Charlotte Brontë's striking expose of
poor living conditions for children in charity schools as well as her poignant
the portrayal of the limitations faced by women who worked as governesses sparked
great controversy and social debate. Jane Eyre, Brontë's best-known novel,
remains an extraordinary coming-of-age narrative, and one of the great classics
of literature.
