"Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Brontë 《簡 愛》安妮·埃爾諾對談錄《寫作是一把刀》；–The People's Journal,

"The reader never tires, never sleeps: the swell and tide of an affluent existence, an irresistible energy, bears him onward, from first to last. It is impossible to deny that the author possesses native power in an uncommon degree—showing itself now in rapid headlong recital, now in stern, fierce, daring dashes in portraiture—anon in subtle, startling mental anatomy—here in a grand illusion, there in an original metaphor—again in a wild gush of genuine poetry."

–The People's Journal, a Dundee-based Scottish periodical first published in 1858. (The last edition was published in 1986.)

 Charlotte Brontë (1816 - 1855) was an influential English novelist and poet, best known for her groundbreaking work, "Jane Eyre," published in 1847. As the eldest of the Brontë sisters, she, along with her siblings Anne and Emily, made significant contributions to English literature.

Brontë's writing is characterized by its exploration of themes such as individuality, morality, and the struggles of women in a patriarchal society. "Jane Eyre" tells the story of an independent young governess who faces numerous hardships yet remains true to her principles. The novel blends elements of Gothic fiction with moral realism, making it a pioneering work in the genre.

Before "Jane Eyre," Brontë wrote her first novel, "The Professor," which was initially rejected by publishers. However, after the success of "Jane Eyre," she gained recognition in literary circles, and her identity as Currer Bell was revealed in 1848.

In addition to "Jane Eyre," Charlotte Brontë authored other notable works, including "Shirley" and "Villette," which further showcase her literary talent and thematic concerns. Her novels often reflect her experiences and the social issues of her time, particularly regarding women's rights and social class.

Charlotte Brontë's legacy endures, as her works continue to be celebrated for their emotional depth and innovative narrative style, influencing countless writers and readers around the world.
