Jane Eyre - Q.D. Leavis, Charlotte Brontë

I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.


Charlotte Brontë

 

The first novel that Charlotte Brontë (born April 21, 1816) wrote, The Professor, was rejected by multiple publishers, but her second, Jane Eyre, was quickly accepted and found fans immediately.
