Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, published by Smith, Elder & Company of London in 1847, is one of the most influential and famous of English novels. Brontë first styled it Jane Eyre: An Autobiography under the pseudonym Currer Bell. It was an immediate critical and popular success. Especially effusive in his praise was William Makepeace Thackeray, to whom Brontë dedicated the novel's second edition, which was illustrated by F. H. Townsend.
