Charlotte Brontë's novel Jane Eyre was a revolutionary and socially conscious work far before its time, exploring the inner life of a woman, written by a woman. The story explores the titular character's early life as an orphan, abused by both her only surviving family and the working school for girls, the memorable relationship with her Byronic employer, Mr. Rochester, and her self-reliance in a limiting era. Jane Eyre is primarily a bildungsroman, a coming-of-age story as the quiet but passionate Jane comes into her own, fulfilled by her own unfaltering moral spirit. The writing of the novel internalizes action to bring the focus to Jane's personal sensibility, and has led Brontë to be called the "first historian of the private consciousness."
