In this episode of Literature and Lapdogs we discuss Charlotte Brontë's 1847 novel, Jane Eyre, about the orphan girl who appears to fall in love with her employer, Mr. Rochester, only to discover that he has a terrible secret.

Olivia and I discuss the novel in terms of its general plot structure and then dive into some of the enduring issues with the text, such as whether Rochester's relationship with Jane is truly romantic.

Note for anyone unfamiliar with the novel: this episode definitely contains spoilers.
