Jane Eyre

Japanese: ジェーン・エア(英語表記)Jane Eyre
Jane Eyre
A novel by the British female writer Charlotte Bronte (Bronte sister), published in 1847. It tells the story of how orphan Jane lived a courageous life, defying the world's incomprehension and persecution. The plot is somewhat melodramatic, but the intense passion of the female protagonist struck a chord with readers, and the novel received explosive reviews upon its release. The fact that she refused to meekly conform to male-centered prejudices, refused to become a man's plaything, and strongly asserted the unique rights of women was also evaluated as a groundbreaking event. [Koike Shigeru]

イギリスの女流作家シャーロット・ブロンテ(ブロンテ姉妹)の小説。1847年刊。孤児ジェーンが世の無理解や迫害にも負けず,雄々しく生きた様をみずから語る。筋はややメロドラマ的であるが,女主人公の激しい情熱が読者の胸を打ち,発表と同時に爆発的好評を博した。彼女が男性中心の偏見におとなしく順応することなく,男性の愛玩物になることを拒否して,女性独自の権利を強く主張したことも,画期的事件と評価された。【小池 滋】
