Jane Eyre

By: Charlotte Bronte

Narrated by: Elizabeth Barr

Jane Eyre is an 1847 novel by Charlotte Bronte, published under her pen name "Currer Bell". Jane Eyre is a Bildungsroman which follows the experiences of its eponymous heroine, including her growth to adulthood and her love for Mr. Rochester, the brooding master of Thornfield Hall.

The novel revolutionized prose fiction by being the first to focus on its protagonist's moral and spiritual development through an intimate first-person narrative, where actions and events are colored by a psychological intensity. Charlotte Bronte has been called the "first historian of the private consciousness" and the literary ancestor of writers like Marcel Proust and James Joyce.

Presented in a dramatic reading format.
