The opening lines of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, written in her own hand in March 1847. Charlotte Brontë was born on the 21st of April 1816, the eldest of the three famous Bront ë sisters. Her second novel, Jane Eyre, was published under the pseudonym Currer Bell in 1847 to immediate success and critical acclaim. The novel – with its wild landscapes, complicated characters, and sharp social commentary – continues to captivate readers, almost two hundred years after it was first published.
