Penguin Classics Jane Eyre

Bronte’s first work, in a gorgeous new clothbound edition. These delectable and collectible Penguin editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. 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. How she takes up the post of governess at Thornfield Hall, meets and loves Mr Rochester and discovers the impediment to their lawful marriage are elements in a story that transcends melodrama to portray a woman’s passionate search for a wider and richer life than that traditionally accorded to her sex in Victorian society. Hardcover; 624 Pages. Dimensions: W5 x H8 inches.
