《简· 爱》创作于英国谢菲尔德,是一部带有自传色彩的 长篇小说,它阐释了这样一个主题:人的价值=尊严+爱。 《简· 爱》中的简爱人生追求有两个基本旋律:富有激情、 幻想、反抗和坚持不懈的精神;对人间自由幸福的渴望 和对更高精神境界的追求。这本小说的主题是通过对孤 女坎坷不平的人生经历,成功地塑造了一个不安于现状、 不甘受辱、敢于抗争的女性形象,反映一个平凡心灵的 坦诚倾诉的呼号和责难,一个小写的人成为一个大写的 人的渴望。

Some Women Novelists
Women Novelists in the 19th Century Among the distinguished English novelists of the 19th century are several women. Women novelists began to appear in England during the second half of the 18th century. But some gifted women of the 19th century made such contributions t the development of the English novel that they have justifiably won their places in the front ranks of the brilliant realists headed by Dickens and Thackeray.

Evaluation
Jane Austen is one of the greatest and best loved novelist in English literature and one of the most important pioneers in the English realistic novel. Austen is the first to bring to light what is to be one of the principal themes of the later 19th century novel, the predicament of the individual, particularly of the women, who require personal fulfillment in society and find that the society makes it difficult to realize the desire.

Emily Bronte
Wuthering Heights 呼啸山庄
The story is told by two characters in the sidelines: Mr. Lockwood, the new tenant of the Grange, and Mrs. Dean, an old servant of the Earnshaw family. It recounts the saga of two star-crossed lovers, Heathcliff-a gypsy boy rescued from the streets of London by Mr. Earnshaw-and Catherine Earnshaw, Mr. Earnshaw’s daughter. Catherine’s older brother Hindley cruelly tyrannizes over Heathcliff after Mr. Earnshaw’s death, treating him worse than a servant. When Catherine becomes a woman and the suitors start calling, Heathcliff, destitute and illiterate due to Hindley’s cruelty, is no match for the rich and handsome Edgar Linton, owner of Thrushcross Grange.

Emily Bronte is the undisputed genius of the Bronte family. An unyielding and mysterious personality, she produces only one novel and a few poems, yet she is ranked among the giants of English literature. Her masterpiece is Wuthering Heights.

The main character
JanБайду номын сангаас Eyre
Jane Eyre ranks as one of the greatest and most perennially popular works of English fiction. Although the poor but plucky heroine is outwardly of plain appearance, she possesses an indomitable spirit, a sharp wit and great courage. She is forced to battle against the exigencies of a cruel guardian, a harsh employer and a rigid social order. All of which circumscribe her life and position when she becomes governess to the daughter of the mysterious, sardonic and attractive Mr. Rochester.
Heathcliff mysteriously disappears after overhearing Catherine’s low opinion of him, only to reappear two years later and disturb the married life of his love Catherine, who by now has become Mrs. Linton. The uncanny gypsy then spends the remainder of his unhappy life wreaking vengeance upon the multiple recipients who had hurt him in the past, including Catherine who killed them both by marrying for money. Wuthering Heights is the recounting of this tragic love story, and of happiness redeemed through the next generation.
