Worldview Guide for Jane Eyre (Canon Classics Literature Series)

"It is true that Jane Eyre is not overtly concerned with the public interests of her day. The novel focuses on the life of the mind and heart of a woman on the fringe of society. By doing this, Bronte introduced the literary world to a sphere it had yet to see and, ironically, one larger than it could contain." ~ From the Worldview Guide

The Worldview Guides from the Canon Classics Literature Series provide an aesthetic and thematic Christian perspective on the most definitive and daunting works of Western Literature. Each Worldview Guide presents the big picture (both the good and the bad) without neglecting the details. Each Worldview Guide is a friendly literary coach -- and a treasure map, and a compass, and a key -- to help teachers, parents, and students appreciate, critique, and begin to master the classics.

The bite-size WGs are divided into these ten sections (with some variation due to genre): Introduction, The World Around, About the Author, What Other Notables Said, Setting, Characters, & Plot Summary, Worldview Analysis, Quotables, 21 Significant Questions & Answers, and Further Discussion & Review. A free classics test and answer key are also available online.
