“Orphaned into cold charity at the hands of her rich cousins and, later, at Lowood School, Jane escapes to take up a position as a governess to the young ward of Mr Rochester. (…)

Jane Eyre is a love story with a happy ending, rare in its time for its sympathetic portrayal of the love of a married man for another woman.  It is, as Thackeray said, ‘The masterwork of a great genius’.  (from the backcover)

Adaptado para cinema várias vezes, o romance tem uma apresentação a partir da visão de Franco Zefirelli (estreada em 1996) aqui:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KR7gr84m2GY
