Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte 1994 with Ciaran Hinds

[Riklaa]

Charlotte Brontë. It was published in London, England in 1847 by Smith, Elder & Co. with the title Jane Eyre. An Autobiography under the pen name "Currer Bell". Harper & Brothers of New York came out with the American edition in 1848. BBC 7-1994 Bronte's classic love story, with Sophie Thompson and Ciaran Hinds Jane Eyre is a first-person narrative of the title character. : Jane's childhood at Gateshead, where she is emotionally abused by her aunt and cousins; her education at Lowood School, where she acquires friends and role models but also suffers privations; her time as the governess of Thornfield Manor, where she falls in love with her Byronic employer, Edward Rochester; her time with the Rivers family at Marsh's End (or Moor House) and Morton, where her cold clergyman-cousin St John Rivers proposes to her; and her reunion with and marriage to her beloved Rochester. Partly autobiographical, the novel abounds with social criticism. It is a novel considered ahead of its time. In spite of the dark, brooding elements, it has a strong sense of right and wrong, of morality at its core. There are several Christian aspects underlying the plot that mold its character and essence. Part 1-Jane The Child

Michelene Wandor's Site - Jane Eyre

Four-part classic serial dramatisation of novel by Charlotte Bronte. Radio 4, 1994. 60 mins each.

Michelene Wandor's fine adaptation has the full complement of atmospheric noises and creepy music, and beautifully maintains the balance between the sensibility of Jane's inner world and the brutality of her material circumstances.
The Times, 1994

No Bronte fan should miss it.

Ciaran Hinds also performed as Valmont in the BBC Radio production of Les Liaisons Dangereuses. I enjoy him as an actor and also in radio productions.
Has "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" been uploaded yet?
