From abused orphan to governess with *attitude*, Jane Eyre’s 1847 glow-up still slays. ✨ Originally published under “Currer Bell” (aka Charlotte Brontë’s secret troll account), critics called it “anti-Christian,” but sis clapped back with *Wuthering Heights* and *Agnes Grey* that same year—*three* iconic novels, one chaotic Brontë trio. 💅
Join Naben Ruthnum, Moira Buffini (who *dared* adapt it in 2011 with Fassbender’s brooding), and Claire Harman (Brontë whisperer) to dissect this masterpiece.
