Jane Eyrová - Charlotte Brontë
Charlotte Brontë vypráví příběh osiřelé Jany Eyrové, která vyrůstá v domě své bezcitné tety a snáší osamělost a kruté zacházení. Zlá teta ji po jednom incidentu pošle do internátní školy, kde je s dívkami špatně zacházeno – jsou nuceny žít v zimě, téměř bez jídla, jsou fyzicky trestány, musí se mýt v ledové vodě. Janin už tak smutný osud je tak najednou ještě krutější. Toto nepříliš šťastné dětství však posiluje její přirozenou nezávislost, sílu a ducha, které se ukážou jako nezbytné, když najde zaměstnání jako vychovatelka u zadumaného pana Rochestera.Jak se její city k Rochesterovi postupně prohlubují, Jane odkrývá strašlivé tajemství panství Thornfield Hall, které ji nutí se jednou provždy rozhodnout. Má zůstat s Rochesterem a žít s následky, které by to mohlo přinést, nebo se řídit svým přesvědčením, i kdyby to znamenalo opustit muže, kterého miluje?Román vyobrazující ženskou honbu za rovností a svobodou si již ve své době získal spoustu obdivovatelů a slavil velké úspěchy u čtenářů i kritiků. Na tehdejší poměry je velice pokrokový a nekopíruje pouze prvky romantismu, ale objevují se v něm i nové, realistické a gotické motivy.

Introduction by Joyce Carol Oates • Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American ReadInitially published under the pseudonym Currer Bell in 1847, Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyreerupted onto the English literary scene, immediately winning the devotion of many of the world’s most renowned writers, including William Makepeace Thackeray, who declared it a work “of great genius.” Widely regarded as a revolutionary novel, Brontë’s masterpiece introduced the world to a radical new type of heroine, one whose defiant virtue and moral courage departed sharply from the more acquiescent and malleable female characters of the day. Passionate, dramatic, and surprisingly modern, Jane Eyre endures as one of the world’s most beloved novels.

Gentle reader, may you never feel what I then felt! Throughout the hardships of her childhood - spent with a severe aunt and abusive cousin, and later at the austere Lowood charity school - Jane Eyre clings to a sense of self-worth, despite of her treatment from those close to her. At the age of eighteen, sick of her narrow existence, she seeks work as a governess. The monotony of Jane s new life at Thornfield Hall is broken up by the arrival of her peculiar and changeful employer, Mr Rochester. Routine at the mansion is further disrupted by mysterious incidents that draw the pair closer together but which, once explained, threaten Jane s happiness and integrity. A flagship of Victorian fiction, Jane Eyre draws the reader in by the vigour of Jane s voice and the novel s forceful depiction of childhood injustice, of the restraints placed upon women, and the complexities of both faith and passion. The emotional charge of Jane s story is as strong today as it was more than 150 years ago, as she seeks dignity and freedom on her own terms. In this new edition, Juliette Atkinson explores the power of narrative voice and looks at the striking physicality of the novel, which is both shocking and romantic.

Professor - Charlotte Brontë
With an Introduction and Notes by Dr Sally Minogue. The Professor is Charlotte Brontes first novel, in which she audaciously inhabits the voice and consciousness of a man, William Crimsworth. Like Jane Eyre he is parentless; like Lucy Snowe in Villette he leaves the certainties of England to forge a life in Brussels.But as a man, William has freedom of action, and as a writer Bronte is correspondingly liberated, exploring the relationship between power and sexual desire. William s first person narration reveals his attraction to the dominating directress of the girls school where he teaches, played out in the school s secret garden . Balanced against this is his more temperate relationship with one of his pupils, Frances Henri, in which mastery and submission interplay.The Professor was published only after Charlotte Brontes death; today it gives us a fascinating insight into the first stirrings of her supreme creative imagination.

Dangerous as lucifer matches. That was how Arthur Nicholls, Charlotte Brontë s husband for the last nine months of her life, described her letters. Full of acute observations, pithy character sketches, and passionate convictions, the letters are our most direct source of information about the lives of the Brontës and our closest approach to the author of Jane Eyre. In them Charlotte writes of life at Haworth Parsonage, her experiences at a Belgian school, and her intense feelings for the Belgian schoolteacher, M. Heger.

Vivid and intimate, her letters give fresh insight into the novels, and into the development of her distinct literary style.

Villette - Charlotte Brontë
That evening more firmly than ever fastened into my soul the conviction that Fate was of stone, and Hope a false idol - blind, bloodless, and of granite core. I felt, too, that the trial God had appointed me was gaining its climax, and must now be turned by my own hands, hot, feeble, trembling as they were With neither friends nor family, Lucy Snowe sets sail from England to find employment in a girls boarding school in the small town of Villette. There she struggles to retain her self-possession in the face of unruly pupils, an initially suspicious headmaster and her own complex feelings, first for the school s English doctor and then for the dictatorial professor Paul Emmanuel.Drawing on her own deeply unhappy experiences as a governess in Brussels, Charlotte Brontë s last and most autobiographical novel is a powerfully moving study of isolation and the pain of unrequited love, narrated by a heroine determined to preserve an independent spirit in the face of adverse circumstances.

Shirley - Charlotte Brontë
With an Introduction and Notes by Sally MinogueThe Shirley of the title is a woman of independent means; her friend Caroline is not. Both struggle with what a woman s role is and can be.

The novel is set in a period of social and political ferment, featuring class disenfranchisement, the drama of Luddite machine-breaking, and the divisive effects of the Napoleonic Wars.But Charlotte Brontës particular strength lies in exploring the hidden psychological drama of love, loss and the quest for identity. Personal and public agitation are brought together against the dramatic backdrop of her native Yorkshire. As always, Brontë challenges convention, exploring the limitations of social justice whilst telling not one but two love stories.

Shirley - Charlotte Brontë
You expected bread, and you have got a stone; break your teeth on it, and don t shriek...you will have learned the great lesson how to endure without a sob. Shirley is Charlotte Brontë s only historical novel and her most topical one. Written at a time of social unrest, it is set during the period of the Napoleonic Wars, when economic hardship led to riots in the woollen district of Yorkshire. A mill-owner, Robert Moore, is determined to introduce new machinery despite fierce opposition from his workers; he ignores their suffering, and puts his own life at risk. Robert sees marriage to the wealthy Shirley Keeldar as the solution to his difficulties, but he loves his cousin Caroline. She suffers misery and frustration, and Shirley has her own ideas about the man she will choose to marry. The friendship between the two women, and the contrast between their situations, is at the heart of this compelling novel, which is suffused with Brontë s deep yearning for an earlier time.

Villette - Charlotte Brontë
I am only just returned to a sense of the real world about me, for I have been reading Villette, a still more wonderful book than Jane Eyre. George Eliot Lucy Snowe, in flight from an unhappy past, leaves England and finds work as a teacher in Madame Beck s school in Villette . Strongly drawn to the fiery autocratic schoolmaster Monsieur Paul Emanuel, Lucy is compelled by Madame Beck s jealous interference to assert her right to love and be loved. Based in part on Charlotte Brontë s experience in Brussels ten years earlier, Villette (1853) is a cogent and dramatic exploration of a woman s response to the challenge of a constricting social environment. Its deployment of imagery comparable in power to that of Emily Brontë s Wuthering Heights, and its use of comedy⠓ironic or exuberant⠓in the service of an ultimately sombre vision, make Villette especially appealing to the modern reader. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
