Praise for Jane Eyre

It is one of the most powerful domestic romances which has been published . It is a book to make the pulses gallop and the heart beat, and to fill the eyes with tears

Atlas 1847

After searching libraries and bookshops everywhere for various copies of Jane Eyre, this is the one with the best introduction. It gives a fantastic insight into the feminist issues of the book, and gives a very powerful view of Jane. I read the book in a new light!
