Jane Eyre (first published 1847). Charlotte Brontë (English, 1816-1855). This edition The Modern Library, 1944. Portrait of Jane on front cover. Color illustrations by Edward A. Wilson. First edition. Original slipcase with portrait on the front.Novel described as an “influential feminist text” because of its in-depth exploration of a strong female character’s feelings. Contains elements of social criticism, with a strong sense of morality at its core, but is nonetheless a novel many consider ahead of its time given the individualistic character of Jane and the novel’s exploration of sexuality, religion, and proto-feminism.“There was no possibility of taking a walk that day.” (first line). -- source link
