Title: The greatest novel of the 1840s
Review: Alright, joint greatest with Wuthering Heights. This novel for all its faults (journalistic style, over reliance on coincidence, a certain Byronic vulgarity to Rochester) simply transcends other English fiction of its time. Charlotte Bronte magics Jane Eyre into existence, the reader inhabits her consciousness. The book's first readers had never read anything like it: you can see why. It is has been continuously in print for over one hundred and fifty years and is a classic in the truest sense of the term. Fie on those who gave it one star!
