A classic romance novel that first dealt with 'passion' in British literature.

Since its first publication in 1847, Jane Eyre has been widely read and loved around the world for 150 years and is truly a 'classic among classics.'
Jane Eyre, which garnered much attention and positive response from the time of its publication and caused a social stir, is considered the first work in British literature to deal with 'passion' and is still recognized for its literary value to this day.
In particular, the 『Jane Eyre』 introduced by Minumsa this time is the translation by Yoo Jong-ho, which the Korean English and American Literature Research Association selected as the best edition among the dozens of 『Jane Eyre』 translations previously published. It preserves the unique flavor and elegance while preserving the unique style and atmosphere of the 19th century Victorian era as much as possible.


In 1847, Charlotte Brontë published 'Jane Eyre' under the male pen name 'Currer Bell'.
This was to avoid the prejudice and criticism that would be poured out simply because the novel was written by a woman in a social atmosphere dominated by the strict moral standards of the Victorian era.
However, despite all these concerns, Jane Eyre became a surprising success, causing a huge social stir.
This novel, which depicted the romantic love and life of a female protagonist with fiery passion and independent self-awareness, piqued the curiosity of readers at the time simply by the fact that it dealt with “love and desire from a woman’s perspective.” Furthermore, the image of the confident female protagonist, who not only achieves love and happiness through her own efforts and will, but ultimately achieves self-realization, presented a new and fascinating image of women, receiving even more enthusiastic support.
