Jane Eyre
by Charlotte Brontë
1847
The tale of poor governess Jane, her unlikely love affair with Mr Rochester, and the madwoman in his attic was a bestseller on publication. (Her sister Emily’s novel Wuthering Heights came out two months later.) Published under the pen name Currer Bell, its innovative first-person narrative, gothic and erotic themes thrilled contemporary readers.
First sentence
“There was no possibility of taking a walk that day.”
