Charlotte Bronte

»En fantastisk bok.« C-G Karlsson, Go'kväll SVT »Villette är en tidig psykologisk roman, där den intensiva, närmast febriga introspektionen är den dramatiska kraften. Charlotte Brontë skrev här med sitt fulla geni.« Malin Ullgren, DN »Där Jane Eyre bär hoppet om sagans förtrollande kraft är Villette mer realistisk, mer som livet i de flesta fall är - en kärlekshistoria utan garantier om ett lycklig slut. En fantastisk roman.« Josefin Holmström, SvDEfter en familjekatastrof måste föräldralösa Lucy Snowe ta sig fram bäst hon kan, i ett 1800-talets London, utan annat skyddsnät än den sista lönen från ett arbete som sällskapsdam åt en äldre kvinna som nu avlidit. Slumpen tar Lucy ombord på en båt till kontinenten och till Villette, där hon lyckas få anställning som lärarinna i engelska på en flickskola. Ständigt övervakas hon av skolans intriganta förestånderska. Som protestant betraktas hon med misstänksamhet i den strängt katolska kultur som präglar platsen. Ändå är det här Lucy söker ett hem åt ett känsligt men tåligt hjärta fostrat av besvikelser, den ena hårdare än den andra. Med åren ska miss Snowe komma att se allt klarare på människolivet; på lidandet och lyckan; på rådande världssyner som religion och inte minst kön. Villette [1853] var en för sin tid utmanande roman, med dess skarpa ifrågasättande av tidens kvinnoroll. Först efter modernismens genombrott fick romanen den klassikerstatus den förtjänar ett mästerverk av Charlotte Brontë som legat i skuggan av den världsomspännande succén Jane Eyre. Denna pärla bland engelska klassiker presenteras här av Anna-Karin Malmström Ehrling & Per Ove Ehrling i den första svenska översättningen av romanen sedan 1854. CHARLOTTE BRONTË [1816-1855] var en engelsk författare, född i Thornton, West Yorkshire. Hon hade fem syskon, av vilka två var författarna Emily och Anne. Flera av Charlotte Brontës romaner hör till den engelska litteraturens klassiker.» Om Jane Eyres popularitet bygger på all härlig skräckromantisk rekvisita, med den demoniske Mr Rochester och hans galna kvinna på vinden, så ligger Lucy Snows storhet i hennes levande psyke. Till det inre är hon förbluffande modern, vår samtida under bahytt och krinolin. Modern också som romangestalt, komplex, kapabel till starka motstridiga eller kluvna känslor.« Ulrika Knutson, GP »Det är med detta stoiska lugn Lucy möter alla hinder, roat observerar sin bitvis hysteriska omgivning och orkestrerar sin egen karriärklättring. Det är en berättare som är ganska svår att tycka om, och de yttre intrigerna är få och triviala ändå behåller romanen en i sitt grepp genom (nästan) alla sina nära 600 sidor.« Amanda Svensson, Sydsvenskan »Mindre känd än Jane Eyre men minst lika bra. Lucy Snowe är en fantastisk karaktär som utmanar dåtidens begränsade kvinnoroll.« Lyrans noblesser

Unabridged & Original version with all 736 pages Includes: 15 Illustrations and Biography Jane Eyre (originally published as Jane Eyre: An Autobiography) is a novel by English writer Charlotte Bronte. It was published on 16 October 1847, by Smith, Elder & Co. of London, England, under the pen name "Currer Bell." The first American edition was published the following year by Harper & Brothers of New York. Primarily of the bildungsroman genre, Jane Eyre follows the emotions and experiences of its title character, including her growth to adulthood, and her love for Mr. Rochester, the byronic master of fictitious Thornfield Hall. In its internalisation of the action-the focus is on the gradual unfolding of Jane's moral and spiritual sensibility, and all the events are coloured by a heightened intensity that was previously the domain of poetry-Jane Eyre revolutionised the art of fiction. Charlotte Bront 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 novel's exploration of classism, sexuality, religion, and proto-feminism. The novel Jane Eyre is a first-person narrative of the title character. The novel is set somewhere in the north of England, during the reign of George III (1760-1820), and goes through five distinct stages: Jane's childhood at Gateshead Hall, where she is emotionally and physically abused by her aunt and cousins; her education at Lowood School, where she acquires friends and role models but also suffers privations and oppression; her time as governess at Thornfield Hall, where she falls in love with her Byronic employer, Edward Rochester; her time with the Rivers family, during which her earnest but cold clergyman cousin, St. John Rivers, proposes to her; and the finale with her reunion with, and marriage to, her beloved Rochester. During these sections the novel provides perspectives on a number of important social issues and ideas, many of which are critical of the status quo (see the Themes section below). Literary critic Jerome Beaty opines that the close first person perspective leaves the reader "too uncritically accepting of her worldview", and often leads reading and conversation about the novel towards supporting Jane, regardless of how irregular her ideas or perspectives. Jane Eyre is divided into 38 chapters, and most editions are at least 400 pages long. The original publication was in three volumes, comprising chapters 1 to 15, 16 to 26, and 27 to 38; this was a common publishing format during the 19th century. Bront dedicated the novel's second edition to William Makepeace Thackeray. The novel begins with the titular character Jane Eyre living with her maternal uncle's family, the Reeds, as a result of her uncle's dying wish. The novel starts when Jane is ten years old and several years after her parents died of typhus. Mr. Reed, Jane's uncle, was the only one in the Reed family to be kind to Jane. Jane's aunt, Sarah Reed, does not like her, treats her as a burden and discourages her children from associating with Jane. Mrs. Reed and her three children are abusive to Jane, physically, emotionally, and, as the reader is quick to realize, spiritually. The nursemaid Bessie proves to be Jane's only ally in the household, even though Bessie sometimes harshly scolds Jane. Excluded from the family activities, Jane is incredibly unhappy, with only a doll and books in which to find solace. One day, after her cousin John knocks her down and she attempts to defend herself, Jane is locked in the red room where her uncle died.

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 underside of domestic life and the hypocrisy behind religious enthusiasm drew both praise and bitter criticism, while Charlotte Bront 's striking expose of poor living conditions for children in charity schools as well as her poignant portrayal of the limitations faced by women who worked as governesses sparked great controversy and social debate. Jane Eyre, Bront 's best-known novel, remains an extraordinary coming-of-age narrative, and one of the great classics of literature.

"Jane Eyre" de Charlotte Bront . Romanci re britannique (1816-1855).

Orphaned at an early age, Jane Eyre leads a lonely life until she finds work as a governess at Thornfield Hall, where she meets the mysterious Mr Rochester and sees a ghostly woman who roams the halls by night.

One of the finest novels ever written, Jane Eyre is also one of the most misunderstood masterpieces of world literature. Whereas most modern teaching of the text misreads or misinterprets Charlotte Bront 's devout and profoundly ingrained Christian faith and intentions, this critical edition emphasizes the semi-autobiographical dimension of the novel, exposing feminist critiques of the work as being woefully awry and illustrating Bront 's belief in the hard-earned, hard-learned blessings of sanctity and reverence.

Charlotte Bront famous masterpiece in an unabridged version with the famous original illustrations by F. H. Townsend. Orphaned into the household of her Aunt Reed at Gateshead, subject to the cruel regime at Lowood charity school, Jane Eyre nonetheless emerges unbroken in spirit and integrity. She takes up the post of governess at Thornfield, falls in love with Mr. Rochester, and discovers the impediment to their lawful marriage in a story that transcends melodrama to portray a woman's passionate search for a wider and richer life than Victorian society traditionally allowed. With a captivating heroine full of yearning, the dangerous secrets she encounters, and the choices she finally makes, Charlotte Bronte's innovative, enduring and superbly told Victorian romantic novel with inspiration from and references to classic Gothic style continues to engage and provoke modern readers.
