Jane Eyrewas Charlotte Bronts second novel, but thefirst to be published. Her story appeared only twomonths after Smith, Elder and Co., received the finalmanuscript in August 1847. The novel was greeted with

almost instant acclaim. Critics seized upon itsimaginative power and the reality and freshness ofits style. It remains one the most popular and widelyread of English novels. The manuscript shown here isCharlottes autograph fair copy. It is remarkably neat,with very few corrections - a beautiful example of whatBronts biographer, Elizabeth Gaskell, described asher clear, legible, delicate traced writing.
