Jane Eyre ranks as one of the greatest and most perennially popular
works of English fiction. Although the poor but plucky heroine is
outwardly of plain appearance, she possesses an indomitable spirit,
a sharp wit and great courage. She is forced to battle against the
exigencies of a cruel guardian, a harsh employer and a rigid social
order. All of which circumscribe her life and position when she
becomes governess to the daughter of the mysterious, sardonic and
attractive Mr Rochester. However, there is great kindness and
warmth in this epic love story, which is set against the
magnificent backdrop of the Yorkshire moors. Ultimately the grand
passion of Jane and Rochester is called upon to survive cruel
revelation, loss and reunion, only to be confronted with tragedy.
