Title: Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre
Description: "Written in the mid-1800s, Jane Eyre maintains its universal appeal through the strength of its heroine-the poor, abused, plain orphan with a commanding and spirited personality. Jane's determination and wit win her the husband she so intensely loves, but the novel proves to be more than a rags-to-riches love story. Jane Eyre comments on the morality and prejudices of the times, and ultimately tells the tale of Jane's search for self. Book jacket."--Jacket.
