#Jane_Eyre is a novel by #English #writer Charlotte Brontë. The first American edition was published the following year by Harper & Brothers of New York. The novel revolutionized prose fiction by being the first to focus on its protagonist's moral and spiritual development through an intimate first-person narrative, where actions and events are colored by psychological intensity. Charlotte Brontë has been called the "first historian of the private consciousness", and the literary ancestor of writers such as Marcel Proust and James Joyce.[4]The book contains elements of social criticism with a strong sense of Christian morality at its core, and it is considered by many to be ahead of its time because of Jane's individualistic character and how the novel approaches the topics of class, religion, and feminism. It, along with Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, is one of the most famous romance novels
