Jane Eyre An Autobiography
Bronte, Charlotte
Synopsis "Jane Eyre An Autobiography"
A preface to the first edition of "Jane Eyre" being unnecessary, I gave none: this second edition demands a few words both of acknowledgment and miscellaneous remark. My thanks are due in three quarters. To the Public, for the indulgent ear it has inclined to a plain tale with few pretensions. To the Press, for the fair field its honest suffrage has opened to an obscure aspirant. To my Publishers, for the aid their tact, their energy, their practical sense and frank liberality have afforded an unknown and unrecommended Author. The Press and the Public are but vague personifications for me, and I must thank them in vague terms; but my Publishers are definite: so are certain generous critics who have encouraged me as only large-hearted and high-minded men know how to encourage a struggling stranger; to them, i.e., to my Publishers and the select Reviewers, I say cordially, Gentlemen, I thank you from my heart.
(Thornton, 1816 - Haworth, 1855) Escritora británica, la mayor de las tres hermanas Brontë (Charlotte, Emily y Anne) y la única que disfrutó de popularidad en vida gracias a Jane Eyre (1847), novela que la consagró en el mundo literario. Hija del pastor anglicano Patrick Brontë, Charlotte Brontë vivió con su familia durante la mayor parte de su infancia, en medio de aquel agreste y desolado paisaje que habría de reaparecer como fondo de los fantásticos y románticos episodios de sus novelas y de las de su hermana Emily.
