About this listen

Triangular relationships, child abuse both emotional and physical, the profanity frequently lurking beneath social and religious respectability, the conflicts between piety and sincerity - these challenging themes are all engrossingly covered in Jane Eyre.

It is no wonder that, as a woman writing in Victorian England, Charlotte Bronte felt the need to publish her debut novel under a male pseudonym. In doing so, she afforded English literature one of its great love stories and above all, a reminder that it is always only courage and integrity, even - as in orphaned Jane Eyre's case - against all odds, that can lead to personal fulfilment and true love.
