Following the death of her uncle, the orphan Jane Eyre is sent to
the Lowood School, where she grows into a confident and
well-educated young woman. When Jane leaves Lowood to become a
governess at Thornfield, she falls in love with Mr. Rochester, her
pupil’s guardian. But a series of eerie and terrifying events
threaten to destroy her happy future. Featuring gripping plot
twists and surprises, Jane Eyre offers rich insight into the life
of a woman who, despite oppression and precarious circumstances,
refuses to yield her sense of self to societal expectations.
This is the most cherished novel from each of England's talented
sisters, in one gorgeously packaged volume. The Bronte family was a
literary phenomenon unequalled before or since. Both Charlotte's
"Jane Eyre" and Emily's "Wuthering Heights" have won lofty places
in the pantheon and stirred the romantic sensibilities of
generations of readers. This "Leatherbound Classics" edition unites
these two enduring favourites with the lesser known, but no less
powerful work by their youngest sister, Anne Bronte. Drawn from
Anne's own experiences as a governess, Agnes Grey offers a
compelling view of Victorian chauvinism and materialism. Its
inclusion makes "The Bronte Sisters" a must-have volume for anyone
fascinated by this singularly talented family.

HarperCollins is proud to present its 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.

HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved,
essential classics. 'Cheerfulness, it would appear, is a matter
which depends fully as much on the state of things within as on the
state of things without and around us.' Considered one of her less
well-known novels, Shirley is Charlotte Bronte's only historical
work, set during the Napoleonic Wars. Wealthy and independent,
Shirley is very different from her friend Caroline, who has few
prospects and is dependent on her uncle. Struggling mill owner
Robert Moore considers marriage to the monied Shirley in order to
secure his financial future; however, it is Caroline who he loves,
while Shirley has fallen for Robert's brother, an impoverished
tutor who is deemed an unsuitable match for her. Unsentimental, yet
unflinching in her honest portrayal of love, class conflict and
identity, Bronte uses the backdrop of her beloved Yorkshire to play
out the tensions and dramas of a society facing social and
industrial upheaval.

to discover fulfilment when she takes up a post at Thornfield Hall
and gets to know the master Mr Rochester, a man of changeable
moods. Yet will Thornfield's secrets and Mr Rochester's past prove
obstacles to Jane's happiness? With its gothic atmosphere and
