– 1855) Essay, Research Paper Because the publishing industry of the early and middle nineteenth century spurned female writers, Charlotte Bronte chose to work under the androgynous pseudonym Currier Bell. Jane Eyre was written in the first-person, autobiographical form, allowing Bronte to draw the reader into her heroine’s plight. This was a successful approach, for even though critics point out some structural flaws in the book, it has always remained a very popular work. Jane Eyre is also an impassioned moral manifesto, as the Preface to the Second Edition makes clear: Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last …. The world may not like to see these ideas dissevered, for it has been accustomed to blend them; finding it convenient to make external show pass for sterling worth – to let white-washed walls vouch for clean shrines. It may hate him who dares to scrutinize and expose – to raise the gilding, and show base metal under it to penetrate the sepulchre, and reveal charnel relics: but, hate as it will, it is indebted to him.
