Plot overview
Introduction
What you need to know
The whole novel in brief, setting by setting, and how Jane's journey from Gateshead to Ferndean is told as her own autobiography.
Where each setting's key moments fall, and how each place marks a stage in Jane's growth, from ten-year-old orphan to married woman.
The novel as a fictional autobiography, first published in three volumes in 1847, running from 'There was no possibility of taking a walk that day' to 'Reader, I married him'.
Eduqas's essay on this novel marks context as much as response and analysis: weave context into the argument, and treat the printed extract as a starting point, ranging across the beginning, middle and end of the novel.
