The Norton Library edition of Jane Eyre faithfully reproduces the third (1848) edition, the last corrected by Charlotte Bronte. A new introduction by Sharon Marcus sheds light on the novel's complex depictions of female agency, drawing fresh appreciation to "the genius, the vehemence, the indignation of Charlotte Bronte" (Virginia Woolf), brought vividly to life through the singular voice of her passionate and uncompromising heroine.
