Edition enrichie de Dominique Barbéris comportant une préface et un dossier sur le roman.
D'où vient que nous revenions toujours à Jane Eyre avec le même attrait? Avec le sentiment d'y trouver le romanesque porté à un degré de perfection ? Le roman offre un concentré de ce que le genre peut produire : l'histoire d'une formation, l'affrontement d'un être solitaire avec sa destinée, la passion, la peur, le mystère. C'est la révolte d'une humiliée, d'une femme inconvenante parce qu'elle s'oppose aux hommes. Jane est sauvage, directe, déjà féministe. Face à elle, le cygne noir, Rochester, séducteur sulfureux, sadique et tendre, père et amant.
Cette voluptueuse autobiographie déguisée - derrière Jane, on devine Charlotte - donne l'impression d'une âme parlant à l'âme.
Nous avons tissé une toile à l'enfance,
Une toile aérienne et ensoleillée
Et dans la prime enfance détecté une source
D'eau fraîche et non souillée.
Charlotte Brontë
Tout le monde connaît les soeurs Brontë :
Charlotte, Emily et Anne.
Mais le frère, Branwell ?
Et leur enfance dissimulée à inventer des mondes et des langages ?
À travers poèmes et proses inédits, ce recueil reconstruit le cheminement imaginaire - « le monde du dessous », écrivait Charlotte - au coeur de la création romanesque des Brontë et lui donne tout son sens.
Jane Eyre est une orpheline recueillie par sa tante, une femme jalouse qui fait de sa vie un enfer. Aidée par le médecin de famille suite à un malaise, Jane va partir dans le pensionnat de Lowood, une école insalubre où le typhus fait beaucoup de victimes. Rescapée de cet endroit, elle trouve ensuite un emploi de gouvernante dans le manoir de Thornfield. Sa rencontre avec le maître des lieux bouleversera sa vie à tout jamais mais l'indépendance de la jeune femme lui permettra-t-elle d'atteindre ce bonheur longtemps recherché.

«Je crois en un mélange d'espoir et de soleil qui adoucit les pires lots. Je crois que cette vie n'est pas tout ; ni le début ni la fin. Je crois pendant que je tremble ; J'ai confiance pendant que je pleure. » Villette, Charlotte BrontëAprès un désastre familial non spécifié, la protagoniste, Lucy Snowe, se rend dans la cité fictive de Villette - (en réalité, Bruxelles, capitale du royaume de Labassecour (c'est-à-dire, la Belgique), où Charlotte Brontë et sa soeur Emily Brontë avaient elles-mêmes étudié) -, pour travailler dans un institut pour jeunes filles où elle est involontairement plongée dans l'aventure et les affaires de coeur.

"Le son aigre d'une cloche me réveilla avant l'aube. Toutes les filles se levèrent aussitôt malgré le froid mordant. Comme elles, je m'habillai en grelottant, et attendis pour me laver qu'une bassine se libère, car il n'y en avait qu'une pour six filles. La cloche sonna de nouveau ; tout le monde se rangea deux par deux pour descendre l'escalier et gagner la grande salle, froide et à peine éclairée." Un grand classique de la littérature, magnifiquement illustré !
The Bronte sisters lives and works have become modern-day cultural touchstones.
Emily Bronte, best known for her novel WUTHERING HEIGHTS, began writing poetry first and, before her untimely death, wrote some of the most touching and emotive poems which often reflected the landscape of her Yorkshire home.
Charlotte Bronte, whose novel JANE EYRE has had numerous TV and film adaptations, took responsibility for finding a home for their work. In her own words, ' We had very early cherished the dream of one day becoming authors'.
Anne Bronte, author of AGNES GREY, often used autobiographical elements in her poems, giving us a hints of the struggles and turmoil of her life.
These poems offer glimpses of the joys and sorrows of the Brontes and are a beautifully compelling introduction to their writing and lives.

Jane Eyre est le premier roman publié de Charlotte Brontë, dont le livre précédent The Professor, avait été refusé par sept éditeurs. Charlotte Brontë amorce la rédaction de Jane Eyre en août 1846 et l'achève un an plus tard. Le livre est accepté par la maison d'édition Smith, Elder and Co. et publié en octobre 1847 sous le pseudonyme de Currer Bell. Le succès est immédiat au point de précipiter la parution déjà prévue des romans Les Hauts de Hurlevent (dans la même collection chez Culture commune) et Agnès Grey des soeurs de Charlotte. Jane, orpheline, est d'abord recueillie par sa tante, Mrs Reed, tenue par une promesse faite à son mari avant sa mort. Jane Eyre est toutefois élevée comme étant inférieure à ses cousins qui n'hésitent pas à la maltraiter, surtout son cousin John. À la suite d'une forte rébellion contre sa tante, précédée par une punition démesurée qui la fait tomber en syncope, Jane Eyre, dix ans, est envoyée en internat à Lowood.

This ebook edition contains the unabridged and complete works of the Brontë Family (Anne, Charlotte, Emily, Branwell and Patrick Brontë) with a detailed and functional table of contents.
The Brontës were a nineteenth-century literary family associated with the village of Haworth in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England. The sisters, Charlotte (born 21 April 1816, in Thornton near Bradford), Emily (born 30 July 1818 in Thornton), and Anne (born 17 January 1820 in Thornton), are well known as poets and novelists. They originally published their poems and novels under masculine pseudonyms, following the custom of the times practised by female writers. Their stories immediately attracted attention, although not always the best, for their passion and originality. Charlotte's Jane Eyre was the first to know success, while Emily's Wuthering Heights, Anne's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and other works were later to be accepted as masterpieces of literature.
The three sisters and their brother, Branwell, were very close and they developed their childhood imaginations through the collaborative writing of increasingly complex stories. The confrontation with the deaths first of their mother then of their two older sisters marked them profoundly and influenced their writing.
Their fame was due as much to their own tragic destinies as to their precociousness. Since their early deaths, and then the death of their father in 1861, they were subject to a following that did not cease to grow. Their home, the parsonage at Haworth in Yorkshire, now the Brontë Parsonage Museum, has become a place of pilgrimage for hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.

Charlotte Brontë's most beloved novel describes the passionate love between the courageous orphan Jane Eyre and the brilliant, brooding, and domineering Rochester. The loneliness and cruelty of Jane's childhood strengthens her natural independence and spirit, which prove invaluable when she takes a position as a governess at Thornfield Hall. But after she falls in love with her sardonic employer, her discovery of his terrible secret forces her to make a heart-wrenching choice. Ever since its publication in 1847, Jane Eyre has enthralled every kind of reader, from the most critical and cultivated to the youngest and most unabashedly romantic. It lives as one of the great triumphs of storytelling and as a moving and unforgettable portrayal of a woman's quest for self-respect.
Born into a poor family and raised by an oppressive aunt, young Jane Eyre becomes the governess at Thornfield Manor to escape the confines of her life. There her fiery independence clashes with the brooding and mysterious nature of her employer, Mr. Rochester. But what begins as outright loathing slowly evolves into a passionate romance. When a terrible secret from Rochester's past threatens to tear the two apart, Jane must make an impossible choice: Should she follow her heart or walk away and lose her love forever?
Considered by many to be Charlotte Brontë's masterpiece, Jane Eyre chronicles the passionate love between the independent and strong-willed orphan Jane Eyre and the dark, impassioned Mr. Rochester. Having endured a lonely and cruel childhood, orphan Jane Eyre, who is reared in the home of her heartless aunt prior to attending a boarding school with an equally torturous regime, is strengthened by these experiences. The natural independence and unbroken spirit she emerges with allows her to thrive as a governess at Thornfield Hall. It is only after she falls in love with her employer and discovers his explosive secret that she is forced to return to the poverty and isolation of her past.
Wuthering Heights is the only published novel by Emily Brontë, written between October 1845 and June 1846 and published in July of the following year. It was not printed until December 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, after the success of her sister Charlotte Brontë's novel Jane Eyre. A posthumous second edition was edited by Charlotte in 1850. It is one of the world's greatest tales of unrequited love, captivating readers with its intense passion and drama. A classic novel of consuming passions, played out against the lonely moors of northern England, recounts the turbulent and tempestuous love story.
The title of the novel comes from the Yorkshire manor on the moors of the story. The narrative centres on the all-encompassing, passionate, but ultimately doomed love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, and how this unresolved passion eventually destroys them and the people around them.

Jane Eyre experienced abuse at a young age, not only from her aunt-who raised her after both her parents died-but also from the headmaster of Lowood Institution, where she is sent away to. After ten years of living and teaching at Lowood Jane decides she is ready to see more of the world and takes a position as a governess at Thornfield Hall. Jane later meets the mysterious master of Thornfield Hall, Mr. Rochester, and becomes drawn to him.

It follows the emotions and experiences of its character, including her growth to adulthood, and her love for Mr. Rochester.

The stories are charmingly written in a very fairytale-esque style. They are written by a child and therefore are sometimes hard to follow when the stories make big turns, which force the reader to read them slowly and devour each sentence.

Continuing their saga some years later, the five 'novelettes' in this volume were written by Charlotte when she was in her early twenties, and depict an aristocratic beau monde in witty, racy and ironic language. She creates an exotic, scandalous atmosphere of intrigue and destructive passions, with a cast ranging from the ageing rake Northangerland and his Byronic son-in-law Zamorna, King of Angria, to Mary Percy, Zamorna's lovesick wife, and Charles Townshend, the cynical, gossipy narrator. Together the tales provide a fascinating glimpse into the mind and creative processes of the young writer who was to become one of the world's great novelists.
Charlotte Brontë (1816 - 1855) worked as a teacher and governess before collaborating on a book of poetry with her two sisters, Emily and Anne, who were writers as well.
