- Jane Eyre is a novel by English writer Charlotte Brontë, published under the pen name "Currer Bell", on 16 October 1847, by Smith, Elder & Co. of London. The first American edition was published the following year by Harper & Brothers of New York. Jane Eyre is a Bildungsroman which follows the experiences of its eponymous heroine, including her growth to adulthood and her love for Mr. Rochester, the brooding master of Thornfield Hall.
The novel revolutionised prose fiction by being the first to focus on its protagonist's moral and spiritual development through an intimate first-person narrative, where actions and events are coloured by a psychological intensity. Charlotte Brontë has been called the "first historian of the private consciousness", and the literary ancestor of writers like Proust and Joyce.
The book contains elements of social criticism with a strong sense of Christian morality at its core, and it is considered by many to be ahead of its time because of Jane's individualistic character and how the novel approaches the topics of class, sexuality, religion, and feminism. It, along with Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, is one of the most famous romance novels of all time
Saturday Night Theatre was a long-running radio drama strand on BBC Radio 4. The strand showcased feature-length, middle-brow single plays on Saturday evenings for more than 50 years, having been launched in April 1943. The plays featured in the strand included stage plays, book adaptations and original dramatisations. For most of its history, programmes ran for 90 minutes and were largely entertainment-centred, such as thrillers, comedies and mysteries.
Saturday Night Theatre was noted as the major drama of the week on BBC Radio 4, until it was scrapped as a programme strand in 1996. Shorter plays continued to be broadcast on Radio 4 on Saturday evenings from 1996 until the relaunch of the channel's schedule in April 1998 by James Boyle, when single dramas were removed from the Saturday evening schedule. Since 1998, the main weekly play on the station has been The Saturday Play, a daytime programme that runs for 60-90 minutes.
There have since been campaigns to bring back Saturday Night Theatre, but in the context of BBC budget cuts, that have included the 2010 axing of Radio 4's Friday Play (established in 1998, when Saturday Night Theatre was abolished), any return looks unlikely.

Brontes are genuinely phenomenal writers
You always make my dreary day so much better. You're a saint.💗
An interesting adaptation for those familiar with the original story but it would be difficult for first time listeners to follow the plot I think. It was an ambitious project trying to squeeze the entire novel into into ninety minutes.
When Rochester asks Jane Eyre to play the piano, she plays Debussy's "The Girl With the Flaxen Hair". This was written in 1909, while Jane Eyre was written in 1847.
Should be Robert Schumann or Felix Mendelssohn !
And that matters because...?
@@mikelheron20 It may seem like a minor anachronism, but the whole style of music of Debussy (whole tone scale, lots of modulations etc.) was totally unknown in Jane Austen's era. The piece would have sounded utterly alien to any other piano music to listeners from that era.
@@B4466 Yes, thanks much
Whoops 😬
Thanks for this
Lovely thank you so much
Mysterious magpie has The full radio adaptation of the full novel , it’s BBC 1994 , it fully covers Janes childhood & the cruel aunt & the vile school yet her kind friend who is a very important part of Janes development/ also what her aunt dose is very important as she breaks a dying mans promise
Wonderful!!!
No aunt who betrayed Jane / I guess it’s covering the main part of Rochester & Jane Eyre , still gorgeous feel of Thornfield Hall is a location in the 1847 novel Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. It is the home of the male romantic lead, Edward Fairfax Rochester, where much of the action takes place.
Loverly.
Why have they left out the important part of her aunt & cousin & why jane was sent to the strict school
90 minutes is 90 minutes
Look at the running time of unabridged audiobooks -- some of them run six hours!
