Jane Eyre (Dover Thrift Editions: Classic Novels)

Charlotte Brontë · 2003

Charlotte Brontë characterized the eponymous heroine of her 1847 novel as being "as poor and plain as myself." Presenting a heroine with neither great beauty nor entrancing charm was an unprecendented maneuver, but Brontë's instincts proved correct, for readers of her era and ever after have taken Jane Eyre into their hearts. The author drew upon her own experience to depict Jane's struggles at Lowood, an oppressive boarding school, and her troubled career as a governess. Unlike Jane, Brontë had the advantage of a warm family circle that shared and encouraged her literary pursuits. She found immediate success with this saga of an orphan girl forced to make her way alone in the world, from Lowood School to Thornfield, the estate of the majestically moody Mr. Rochester, and beyond. A selection of the Common Core State Standards Initiative.

Una Habitacion Propia

Woolf Virginia · 1980

Este ensayo tuvo su origen en unas conferencias que Virginia Woolf dio sobre el tema de la mujer y la novela. En él la autora expone su concepción sobre las mujeres y su papel en la literatura, que se basa en la necesidad que tienen estas de un replanteamiento en sus vidas, alejandose del ideal de mujer de la epoca victoriana para convertirse en mujeres con inquietudes, que necesitan un espacio propio, una "habitacion" en la que pensar y desarrollarse con independencia.
