Quote of the Day

"I am not an angel, and I will not be one till I die: I will be myself.

- Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

The novel Jane Eyre revolutionized prose fiction by being the first to focus on its protagonist's moral and spiritual development through an intimate first-person narrative, where actions and events are colored by a psychological intensity. Charlotte Brontë has been called the "first historian of the private consciousness", and the literary ancestor of writers like Marcel Proust and James Joyce.[
