Bildungsroman Of Jane Eyre
523 wordsJane Eyre is one of the most complex novels of the mid-nineteenth century, offering more than progressive political content and trenchant social observation. Modern readings of Jane Eyre, however, tend to focus on these aspects, often to the neglect of the novel's many other excellent qualities. Jane Eyre's most striking feature is its heroine, who narrates the book approximately ten years after the events of the story take place. (In fact, the first edition of Jane Eyre claimed to be an autobio...

In this novel Charlotte Bronte personifies her philosophy thro...
