Disliked by her aunt's family, she is sent away to school. Here she learns that a young girl, with neither money nor family to support her, can expect little from the world. She survives, but she wants more from life than simply to survive: she wants respect, and love. When she goes to work for Mr Rochester, she hopes she has found both at once. But the sound of strange laughter, late at night, behind a locked door, warns her that her troubles are only beginning.
Charlotte Brontë (Yorkshire, 1816-1855). Novelista inglesa componente de una familia cuyas obras transcendieron la época victoriana para convertirse en clásicas. Se casó en 1852 y, en 1855, estando embarazada, enfermó y murió de tuberculosis como sus hermanas. Desde que murieron, las circunstancias de sus vidas, sus muertes prematuras y sus sorprendentes logros han fascinado a las nuevas generaciones de lectores. La popularidad de Jane Eyre nunca ha declinado y constituye una expresión apasionada de las inquietudes y los problemas femeninos.
