The historical background of the creation of Jane Eyre
1. Jane Eyre was officially published in the UK in 1847. The work incorporated the author's personal experience into it with a realistic approach, reflected the social structure of the UK at that time through the delicate characterization of characters, and made the character image of the main character Jane Eyre sharply contrast with the social environment. The mid-19th century was in the early stage of the rise of the second Industrial Revolution in Britain. The development of industrialization and technological innovation brought about great changes in the social structure. So far, the realistic literature school with the background of the development of The Times rose rapidly in the mid-19th century in Britain. As one of the important representatives of boosting the development of realism literature, Jane Eyre's description of contemporary British social form and social structure is relatively one-sided, but it can more directly three-dimensional presentation of British social development in the form of art. On the one hand, it helps readers to shape a rich cultural spiritual world, on the other hand, it becomes an important base for the spread of Western feminism in the future.
2. The development of the industrial Age provided opportunities for employment in Britain, men played an increasingly important role in society, and the continuous intensification of wars in the post-industrial era led to the regression of women's status in Britain in the 19th century. Influenced by the environment, Charlotte Bront's childhood experiences not only gave her unforgettable physical and mental trauma, but also shaped her brave and independent character, which has accumulated rich life experience for her future literary creation. Just because of this, Jane Eyre attracted much attention in British society in the 19th century. The same painful experience and deformed social structure made more female groups resonate with Jane Eyre. The shaping of its independent female image made Jane Eyre not only become a pronoun of realistic literature, but also became an important guide to accelerate the female rights movement.
