Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, originally published 1847. Brontë gave Jane a voice that addresses the reader directly - "Reader, I married him" - and that intimacy collapses at skimming speed. Modern readers find a heroine who narrates her own moral education and a Victorian novel that does not flinch from the questions it raises.
