charlotte bronte\\'s jane eyre
jane eyre was published in 1847 under the androgynous pseudonym of “currer bell.” the publication was followed by widespread
succe.utilizing two literary traditions, the bildungsroman and the gothic novel, jane eyre is a powerful narrative with profound themes
concerning genders, family, paion, and identity.it is
unambiguously one of the most celebrated novels in british literature.born in 1816, charlotte bronte was the third daughter of patrick bronte, an ambitious and intelligent clergyman.according to newsman, all the bronte children were unusually precocious and almost
ferociously intelligent, and their informal and unorthodox educations under their father\\'s tutelage nurtured these traits.patrick bronte shared his interests in literature with his children, toward whom he behaved as though they were his intellectual equals.the bronte children read voraciously.charlotte\\'s imagination was especially fired by the poetry of byron, whose brooding heroes served as the prototypes for characters in the bronte\\'s juvenile writings as well as for such figures as mr.rochester in jane eyre。bronte\\'s formal education was limited and sporadic – ten months at the age of 8 at cowan bridge clergy daughters\\' school，eighteen months from the age of 14 at roe head school of mi margaret wooler。according to newman, bronte then worked as a teacher at roe head for three years before going to work as a governe.seeking an alternative way of earning money, charlotte bronte went to bruels in 1842 to study french and german at the pensionnat heger, preparing herself to open a school at the parsonage.she seems to have fallen in love with her charismatic teacher, constantin heger.the experience seems on a probable source for a recurrent feature in bronte\\'s fiction:

the profeor, was also unsucceful.jane eyre, published in october 1847, however, was met with great enthusiasm and became one of the best sellers.as “currer bell” bronte completed two more novels, shirley and villette.she married reverend william bell nicholls in 1854 and died nine months later, at the age of thirty-nine in 1855。the story of jane eyre takes place in northern england in the early to mid-19th century.it starts as the ten-year-old jane, a plain but unyielding child, is excluded by her aunt reed from the domestic circle around the hearth and bullied by her handsome but unpleasant cousins.under the suggestion of mr.lloyd, an apothecary that sympathizes jane, mrs.reed sends jane to lowood institution operated by a hypocritical evangelicalist, mr.brocklehurst, who
chastises jane in front of the cla and calls her a liar.at lowood, jane befriends with helen burns, who helps the newly arrived jane adjust to the austere environment; she is also taken under the wing of the superintendent, mi temple.one spring, many students catch typhus due to the harsh condition.helen dies of consumption.at the end of her studies jane is retained as a teacher.when jane grows weary of her life at lowood, she advertises for a position as
