Jane Eyre
Jane Eyre leaves a harsh upbringing behind to work as a governess at Thornfield Hall. Her growing affection for Rochester tests her determination to live on her own terms.
From the English edition
The Press and the Public are but vague personifications for me, and I must thank them in vague terms; but my Publishers are definite: so are certain generous critics who have encouraged me as only large-hearted and high-minded men know how to encourage a struggling stranger; to them, _i.e._, to my Publishers and the select Reviewers, I say cordially, Gentlemen, I thank you from my heart.
