Description: This edition of Bronte's classic, based on the 1848 third edition, presents the novel along with five critical essays that read Jane Eyre from five contemporary critical perspectives. Each critical essay is accompanied by a succinct introduction to the history, principles, and practice of the critical perspective and by a bibliography that promotes further exploration of that approach.

In addition, the text and essays are complemented by an introduction providing biographical and historical contexts for Bronte and Jane Eyre, a survey of critical responses to the novel since its initial publication, and a glossary of critical and theoretical terms.
