Independence

To myself alone could I look Jane Eyre and Lucy Snowe are heroines who depend upon no one but themselves. In the face of hardship, from small sacrifices to great heartache, they cling resolutely to their principles of self-reliance. Lucy's energy and enterprise take her to Belgium and a career in teaching, whilst Janes honest, intelligent mind draws declarations of love. Both are the unforgettable creations of the deeply independent and brilliant Charlotte Bront. Selected from Charlotte Bront's Jane Eyre and Villette. VINTAGE MINIS: GREAT MINDS. BIG IDEAS.
