HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent will.' Bronte's infamous Gothic novel tells the story of orphan Jane, a child of unfortunate circumstances. Raised and treated badly by her aunt and cousins and eventually sent away to a cruel boarding school, it is not until Jane becomes a governess at Thornfield that she finds happiness. Meek, measured, but determined, Jane soon falls in love with her brooding and stormy master, Mr Rochester, but it is not long before strange and unnerving events occur in the house and Jane is forced to leave Thornfield to pursue her future.

Jane and Mr. Rochester:
I'll confess I wasn't particularly looking forward to "Jane Eyre" when I started. I wanted to read it because I should read it, and because it's a travesty I haven't read it - until now. I assumed it would be dry, at times forcefully witty - a hunt for a man and a conquest. That sort of thing. Not a bit of it!

A review by a 15-year-old girl.:

I know that whoever reads this book will definitely enjoy it like I did.

Gut wrenching victorian novel:
I picked up a copy of Jane Eyre at a used book store. I have a collection of old books. I buy them for the age and cover art and then read them. I've heard of Jane Eyre, but have never read it. Its an amazing book. I read it in two days and have been thinking about it every day for the last three weeks. Reading other people's reviews is interesting, but if I hear it's a "woman power" feminist book one more time I'm going to scream! I'm sorry, I think it's way more advanced and classy than the tired old... more info
Good Book but not what I ordered:
Jane Eyere is my absolute favorite book and I was thrilled when I found the book marked as collector's edition and leather bound.
