Course Overview



Charlotte Bronte's 'Jane Eyre' is one of the most widely studied novels in English literature and with good reason. It is one of the few novels of the Victorian era written by a woman and the bold challenges it made to societal constructs regarding topics such as gender, class and mental health still resonate with modern audiences. Over fourteen lessons, this course will help students get to grips with the novel, through comprehensions and picking apart the language and equip students with the tools they need to write an effective and powerful essay on this text.
