內容簡介

夏綠蒂.勃朗特的小說《簡愛》出版於1847年,是勃朗特三姐妹文學的首部,小說一問市,即廣受歡迎。故事以北英格蘭的鄉村莊園為背景,描述孤女簡愛Jane Eyre在艱困環境中成長,與命運搏鬥,追求自我及情愛的歷程。故事的每個階段,簡愛總是以特立獨行的方式應對進退,一階段有一階段的型塑、蛻變及情愛的掙扎,最後,展現蝴蝶般艷麗的新生,其歷程代表舊時代覺醒女性的典範。這是一部浪漫小說,也是反映英國19世紀社會現實生活的傑作。

 

The Norton Library edition of Jane Eyre faithfully reproduces the third (1848) edition, the last corrected by Charlotte Brontë. A new introduction by Sharon Marcus sheds light on the novel’s complex depictions of female agency, drawing fresh appreciation to “the genius, the vehemence, the indignation of Charlotte Brontë” (Virginia Woolf), brought vividly to life through the singular voice of her passionate and uncompromising heroine.

作者介紹
Charlotte Brontë was born at Thornton, Yorkshire in 1816, the third child of Patrick and Maria Brontë. Her father was perpetual curate of Haworth, Yorkshire from 1820 until his death in 1861. Her mother died in 1821, leaving five daughters and a son. Charlotte was employed as a teacher from 1835 to 1838, was subsequently a governess, and in 1842 went with her sister Emily to study languages in Brussels, where during 1843 she again worked as a teacher. Charlotte’s first novel, The Professor, was rejected by several publishers and was not published until 1857. Jane Eyre was published in 1847 and achieved immediate success. In 1848 Branwell Brontë died, as did Emily before the end of the same year, and Anne in the following summer, so that Charlotte alone survived of the six children. Charlotte married in 1854 the Revd A. B Nicholls, her father’s curate, but died in March 1855.
