4 posts | 4 read

The text reprinted in this new edition is that of the 1848 third edition text--the last text corrected by the author. "Contexts" includes eighteen new selections and two new subsections: "Charlotte and Jane’s Illustrated Book" which includes a letter from Brontë to her publisher W. S. Williams; "Vignettes from Bewick"; and "Charlotte Brontë and Bewick’s "British Birds’" and "Charlotte Brontë as Governess," which includes letters to Emily Brontë, Ellen Nussey, W. S. Williams, and "The Governess-Grinders." "Criticism" collects six major essays on Jane Eyre, four of them new to the Third Edition. Contributors include Adrienne Rich, Sandra M. Gilbert, Jerome Beaty, Lisa Sternlieb, Jeffrey Sconce, and Donna Marie Nudd. A new Chronology and updated Selected Bibliography are also included.

Jane Eyre (Third Edition) (Norton Critical Editions) | Charlotte Brontë

bailed

Although I haven't picked it up in 6 months, I'm just finally admitting that Jane Eyre is a DNF for me. I find the language to be bloated and weak. Too little happens and it takes too long to get there. Jane is too pious for my taste, and Rochester is a jerk. Normally I enjoy books with characters who are all flawed, but I can't do this one. The author thinks I should love Jane, and I don't.
