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.

Bronte's infamous Gothic novel tells the story of orphan Jane, a

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.

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.
This beautiful, giftable collection celebrates both the wisdom and
tenacity of courageous women who defied society’s expectations
and gifted the world with literary treasures through unparalleled
fiction and poetry. We know many of their names--Austen and Alcott,
Brontë and Browning, Wheatley, and Woolf--though some may be less
familiar. They are here, waiting to introduce themselves.Â
They wrote against all odds. Some wrote defiantly; some wrote
desperately. Some wrote while trapped within the confines of status
and wealth. Some wrote hand-to-mouth in abject poverty. Some wrote
trapped in a room of their father’s house, and some went in
search of a room of their own. They had lovers and families. They
were sometimes lonely. Many wrote anonymously or under a pseudonym
for a world not yet ready for their genius and talent. The Women
Who Wrote softcover edition offers: Stories from Jane Austen,
Katherine Mansfield, Willa Cather, Louisa May Alcott, Edith
Wharton, Zora Neale Hurston, and Virginia Woolf. Poems from Emily
Dickinson, Gertrude Stein, Charlotte Brontë, Emily Brontë,
Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Elizabeth
Barrett Browning, Dorothy Parker, and Phillis Wheatley. These women
wrote to change the world. They marched through the world one
by one or in small sisterhoods, speaking to one another and to us
over distances of place and time. Pushing back against the
boundaries meant to keep us in our place, they carved enough space
for themselves to write. They made space for us to follow. Here
they are gathered together, an army of women who wrote an arsenal
of words to inspire us. They walk with us as we forge our own paths
forward.

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.
