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.
