| Publisher Description: One of the greatest love stories ever written, Jane Eyre is the tale of a young woman entangled with the powerful Mr. Rochester. What lurks in the attic at Thornfield, the ancestral home of the surly Mr. Rochester? Will the governess Jane Eyre discover his secret-and having discovered it, live to regret that knowledge? Battling inside Jane are passion and prudence; she struggles to survive the turmoil they cause. |
Contributor Bio(s): Bronte, Charlotte: - Charlotte Bronte (1816-1855) grew up in the isolated parsonage at Haworth, Yorkshire, where her father was curate. She and her sisters Emily and Anne thrived in fantasy worlds that drew on their voracious reading of Shakespeare, romantic, and gothic fiction. Charlotte was employed as a teacher and a governess before she began writing with her sisters. The Professor, her first novel, was rejected for publication until 1857, although Jane Eyre, published in 1847 under a pseudonym, achieved great success. Root, Amanda: -Amanda Root is an English stage, screen, and voice actor. In 2009 her performance in The Norman Conquests earned her a Tony nomination for Best Performance for a Featured Actress in a Play. She also played the voice of Sophie in The BFG, held the starring role in the 1995 BBC film adaptation of Jane Austen's Persuasion, and played Miranda in the British television comedy All About Me. |
