Jane Eyre
A beautiful gift, and perfect gems for bookworms.—So DarlingAt the end we are steeped through and through with the genius, the vehemence, the indignation of Charlotte Brontë—Virginia WoolfJane Eyre's suspense-laden, melodramatic plot - featuring child cruelty and attempted bigamy, as well as the celebrated madwoman - explains much of its appeal... Jane Eyre is a book into which generations of readers have escaped. And yet it seems to provide something far more sustaining than the escapist fantasy... Her technical skill at writing the self in a first-person narrative is supreme, her words carefully chosen—Lucasta Miller, GuardianCharlotte Bronte was surely a marvellous woman. If it could be right to judge the work of a novelist from one small portion of one novel [JE], and to say of an author that he is to be accounted as strong as he shows himself to be in his strongest morsel of work, I should be inclined to put Miss Bronte very high indeed. I know of no interest more thrilling than that which she has been able to throw into the characters of Rochester and the governess, in the second volume of Jane Eyre—Anthony TrollopeGreat genius—William Makepeace ThackerayPassionately independent orphan falls for the perfect romantic anti-hero. But then she discovers what he keeps in his attic...—Maggie O’Farrell

Jane Eyre
Een autobiografieJane Eyre is een wees. Ze belandt bij haar tante, die haar haat, dus ze moet naar een weeshuis. Op haar achttiende wordt ze gouvernante op het landgoed Thornfield. Daar ontluikt een grote liefde tussen haar en haar grillige werkgever, Edward Rochester. Hun vreemde verhouding wordt doorbroken door de onthulling van zijn duistere geheim. Wat zit daar toch op zolder? En wat betekent dat voor, of tegen Jane? Ze vlucht, verscheurd tussen haar gevoelens en haar geweten... Jane Eyre moet zich voegen, overal waar ze terechtkomt. Als negentiende-eeuwse (jonge) vrouw wordt ze uitgebuit en nagewezen. Ze is niet knap. Ze is niet rijk. Ze is de ultieme plain Jane, maar onverstoorbaar en doelmatig. Ze is volgzaam, maar ook slim. Haar gewillige aard is bedrieglijk, evenals de roman, die veel gotischer en donkerder is dan het vooroordeel wil. Jane Eyre is het door haarzelf vertelde levensverhaal van een wat stuurse, maar gepassioneerde en onverschrokken jonge vrouw.

Jane Eyre
Jane Eyre van Charlotte Brontë geldt als een van de hoogtepunten van de wereldliteratuur. Sinds de eerste publicatie in 1847 blijft deze roman lezers wereldwijd fascineren door de krachtige combinatie van romantiek, spanning en morele diepgang. De ontwikkeling van de jonge Jane, haar verlangen naar zelfstandigheid en haar zoektocht naar liefde maken Jane Eyre tot een blijvende klassieker binnen de Engelse literatuur. Na een moeilijke en eenzame jeugd weet Jane Eyre zich staande te houden door haar intelligentie en vastberadenheid. Ze vindt werk als gouvernante op Thornfield Hall, waar ze de intrigerende en mysterieuze meneer Rochester ontmoet. Tussen hen ontstaat een intense band die uitgroeit tot een diepgevoelde liefde. Maar achter de gesloten deuren van het landhuis schuilt een geheim dat hun geluk bedreigt en alles op scherp zet. Wat Jane Eyre zo bijzonder maakt, is de combinatie van romantische spanning en gotische sfeer. Charlotte Brontë verweeft liefde, morele dilemma's en sociale ongelijkheid tot een roman die zowel emotioneel meeslepend als psychologisch gelaagd is. De figuur van Jane, zelfstandig en principieel, wordt nog altijd gezien als een van de sterkste vrouwelijke personages uit de negentiende-eeuwse

Emily Dickinson Face to Face
“Here, the famously reclusive poet is depicted in her most intimate light—a treasured relative of an awestruck niece. Though written when Bianchi (1866-1943) was in her 60s, the author’s recollections remain fresh with whimsy . . . Emily Dickinson appears here as an almost mythical, magical figure in her niece’s life.” —Angelina Torre, The Wall Street Journal “Emily Dickinson springs to life in this remarkable, long-out-of-print biography written by her niece. The daughter of Dickinson’s older brother, Bianchi enchants immediately with anecdotes about being babysat by the poet on Sunday mornings when the rest of the household was in church . . . Though millions of pages have been written about Dickinson, as poet Anthony Madrid notes in the book’s foreword, few have provided such a thrilling close-up portrait. Readers will be rapt from the first page.” —Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) “Written by Emily Dickinson’s niece, this memoir — out of print for nearly a century — offers a more intimate side of the poet, from anecdotes detailing her secretly handing out sweets to her interest in the latest gossip, fashions and books.” —The New York Times Book Review “For Bianchi, Dickinson was not merely a magical and beloved aunt but also a metric for her own evolution. She assessed her maturation by the nuance with which she perceives the poet . . . Her affectionate proximity to Dickinson—a proximity Todd did not share—must influence one’s reading of Emily Dickinson Face to Face. If Bianchi, too, mythologized her aunt, it is nonetheless a mythology spun from lived interactions with the woman at their center.” —Rachel Vorona Cote, Poetry “A wonderful example of how biography can illuminate the life and work of an artist even when the artist’s work is not directly addressed, or made the subject of literary criticism. Martha Dickinson Bianchi’s portrayal of her aunt has the same quality of furtive, elusive, and yet revelatory promise that distinguishes Emily Dickinson’s poetry . . . A memoir that is complete and satisfying in itself.” —Carl Rollyson, The New York Sun “What makes this little memoir extraordinary, even unique, in all the millions of pages written about Dickinson is its intimacy . . . Say the memoirist, later known as Martha Dickinson Bianchi (we’ll call her Mattie), was four and Emily Dickinson (ED) was forty, that means Mattie knew ED, more or less continuously, through the last fifteen years of ED’s life. ‘Knew’? She probably cuddled with her. Gotta be only six or seven people in the history of the universe who cuddled with Emily Dickinson, and only one who gives us a child’s-eye view of ED with other grownups.” —Anthony Madrid, from the Foreword
