"Charlotte Brontë’s most acclaimed work Jane Eyre was published in 1847. Drawing liberally on her own experiences, the author tells the tale of the eponymous orphan girl, and the trials and adversities she encounters in her search for love and acceptance on her journey from childhood to womanhood. Immensely popular worldwide, Jane Eyre was ranked tenth in The Big Read 2003 survey conducted by BBC for UK’s best-loved novels. It has been adapted extensively across film, television, radio and theatre, and even presented as two full-length operas."
