Only after she has attained the financial independence and self-esteem to maintain a marriage of equality does Jane allow herself to marry Mr.

John because she understands she will have to forfeit her independence in the unions. Yet, Jane maintains her independent spirit, growing stronger in her beliefs and ideals with each conflict Jane's inferior position as a governess serves simply to heighten her thirst for independence, both financial and emotional. In each stage of the novel, Jane is met with fierce opposition from those around her, often because of her low social class and lack of economic independence. 'synopsis' may belong to another edition of this title.The protagonist and narrator of Jane Eyre, Jane begins the novel as an angry, rebellious, 10-year-old orphan and gradually develops into a sensitive, artistic, maternal, and fiercely independent young woman. It is a powerful and imaginative tale with marvellous descriptions of the wild beauty of the moors.Agnes Grey, by the youngest sister Anne, is a moving and simply written story of a governess's life, again based on her own unhappy experiences.

Wuthering Heights, Emily's only prose work, though bitterly attacked in its day, is recognised today as one of the greatest of English romantic novels.

The most famous of them, Jane Eyre, is a deeply-felt, passionate story, based in part on Charlotte's personal experiences, strong in situation and characterisation. Their contacts with the outside world were brief and often unhappy, they fought a continual, hopeless battle against failing health, yet their combined willpower, energy and talent resulted in a stream of letters, stories, poems and novels, including two undoubted masterpieces, Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights.The three novels in this volume form a representative cross-section of their mature work. Here were three girls who spent the greater part of their tragically brief lives in an austere, isolated parsonage on the Yorkshire moors. That Jane Eyre (Charlotte), Wuthering Heights (Emily) and Agnes Grey (Anne), works of such lasting quality, were produced in such a short space of time is incredible enough: that it was all the output of three sisters living straitened lives in a lonely Yorkshire village was extraordinary.The story of the Bronte sisters is surely unique in literary history. This collection brings together three pieces of work that, incredibly, were all published within a single year.
