A beautifully packaged collector's edition of the celebrated Bronte
Sisters' beloved works: Anne Bronte's Agnes Grey, Charlotte
Bronte's Jane Eyre, and Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights. The three
novels in this collectible edition explore themes of love, struggle
and survival, coming of age, and personal freedom and independence
as they pertained to women in the nineteenth century.
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.

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.

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.

Charlotte Bronte's masterpiece of gothic romance--an epic and
intimate narrative of love, tragedy, and one woman's struggle to
find happiness in the face of overwhelming hardship
Jane Eyre follows a timeless heroine's quest to find her place
in the world. Orphaned as a child, Jane Eyre suffers cruelty and
abuse at the hands of her aunt and cousins. Banished to the Lowood
school, she forges a path for herself and thrives--in spite of
loneliness, poverty, and hunger. When the opportunity for work as a
governess sends her to Thornfield Hall, she meets its owner, Edward
Rochester, the man who will forever alter the course of her young
life. At home for the first time, she begins to fall deeply,
irrevocably in love with Mr. Rochester, nurtured by his
near-spiritual adoration. But the manor is rife with mysteries, and
one, bound to the attic of Thornfield, will threaten Jane's
hard-won happiness in ways she had never imagined.
A tale of fire, storms, and dark secrets, Jane Eyre has endured
as an enthrallingly timeless classic.
“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being
with an independent will.†As a young orphan, Jane Eyre is thrown
upon the mercy of an aunt and cousins who are anything but
merciful, and when they send her away to an austere boarding school
for charity cases, it seems she will never be allowed to forget her
humble beginnings. However, Jane has a quiet inner strength and
resourcefulness, and when she take on a role as governess at
Thornfield Hall, she quickly gains both the affection and respect
not only of her young pupil, but also the child's guardian, the
fierce and brooding Mr Rochester. Perhaps Jane has finally found
the love for which she has always longed? But Mr Rochester has a
dark secret. A secret that will rock Thornfield Hall to its very
foundations…

With an Introduction and Notes by Sally Minogue The Shirley of the
title is a woman of independent means; her friend Caroline is not.
Both struggle with what a woman's role is and can be. Their male
counterparts - Louis, the powerless tutor, and Robert, his
cloth-manufacturing brother - also stand at odds to society's
expectations. The novel is set in a period of social and political
ferment, featuring class disenfranchisement, the drama of Luddite
machine-breaking, and the divisive effects of the Napoleonic Wars.
But Charlotte Brontes particular strength lies in exploring the
hidden psychological drama of love, loss and the quest for
identity. Personal and public agitation are brought together
against the dramatic backdrop of her native Yorkshire. As always,
Bronte challenges convention, exploring the limitations of social
justice whilst telling not one but two love stories.
