It was published under her pen name "Currer Bell" on 19 October 1847 by Smith, Elder & Co. of London. The first American edition was published the following year by Harper & Brothers of New York.

The book contains elements of social criticism with a strong sense of Ch ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
