  Throughout the long centuries of human history is the want, and the need, to share information, to exchange ideas and for that knowledge and experience, for curiosity and learning, to be the basis of a civil society. 
  In literature the ambition is much narrower.  In order to be known, to be popular, you had to be published.  And for that people had to know you existed and your ideas worth reading.  Obviously for most of humanity’s time people couldn’t read and texts couldn’t be published in any great number. 
  In the 15th Century Gutenberg’s printing press began the revolution to address the second and by the 19th century had gathered pace with startling speed and mass distribution.  Education for the many was brought in to help people understand more of their world and, with new skills, how to have a better place within it.  Now, if the powers that owned the presses and means of distribution agreed an audience would now be able to avail themselves of your ideas, your printed words.  
  Sadly, in the thirst for the new, the recent and the past fell from sight, relegated to dark corners and dusty shelves.   
  But the printed word is rarely without someone, somewhere busying themselves through piles of papers and books rediscovering what a good story is, whatever its age.

  Jane Eyre is considered to be Charlotte Brontë's gothic masterpiece. It depicts the life of young orphan Jane, whose experiences of familial neglect produce an unmatched independence and bullet-proof inner resolve.  
  Things start off terribly. She is banished to Lowood School at the tender age of ten, and faces deprivation, disease and death. But against all odds she survives, and goes on to become a highly respected teacher. Things get easier then. But when her mentor leaves to get married, she realises it is time to forge a life of her own.  
  After much deliberation, she applies for the position of governess to the young ward of a broody and difficult Edward Rochester, and it's not long before he captures her heart and mind. But unbeknownst to her, Rochester is hiding a terrible secret - one which forces her to make a heartbreaking choice: remain with him at Thornfield and compromise the inner virtue she's built brick by brick, or leave and lose everything her heart aches for.
