This Book Riot Booknerdlandia post [from April 21st] is a celebration of the wit and wisdom contained in Charlotte Brontë’s seminal work, Jane Eyre. You could do worse than give this classic of English literature a chance; read it – you won’t regret it! 🙂

Jane Eyre is my favorite classic novel of all time. It’s hauntingly beautiful, eloquently written, daringly progressive, and a terrific love story to boot. Eyre was one of the first literary heroines to command recognition of feminine fortitude, wit, and desire. Like her creator, she was a heroine ahead of her time, and her story is peppered with nuggets of wisdom that are just as relevant today as they were 169 years ago when the book was first published. Today is Charlotte Brontë’s 200th birthday. To celebrate, here are 35 of my favorite quotes from Jane Eyre, loosely sorted by topic. Quotes by characters other than Jane are noted. – Book Riot

The library’s copy of Jane Eyre can be found in the Classics Collection!
