The first edition of Charlotte Brönte's Jane Eyre Manuscript

These 824 pages of Charlotte Brontë’s elegant and nimble handwriting are one of the British Library’s most precious treasures. Because of the great technical challenge that the task of reproducing it presents, the manuscript has remained unpublished until today.



Jane Eyre 

Set in Northern England, during the reign of George III. From the heroine’s turbulent childhood, to her discovery of love and all its tragic implications, to the birth of her first son—Jane Eyre is one of the greatest bildungsromans of all time.



The original manuscript

Charlotte Brontë reçoit une lettre de son éditeur Smith and Elder en août 1847, rejetant son premier roman (The Professor) mais l'encouragent à écrire. Elle envoya alors ce manuscrit de Jane Eyre — c'est le seul manuscrit connu à ce jour. Edité en octobre 1847, le roman est un succès immédiat.
