Editorial Reviews

Review

"I think she's exquisite... I wish I knew her in high school" - Thurston Moore, Sonic Youth "Darcy's comics are aesthetic manifestos... Darcy is a star. Mark my words... Meatcake will prevail" - New York Times."


Product Description

Charlotte Brontë’s sweeping Victorian romance is reborn through the striking illustrations of the inimitable Dame Darcy

A devoted readership will recognize Dame Darcy as the creator of highly original and off-kilter comic books. Here she uses her lavishly detailed illustrations to bring the best-loved Victorian novel Jane Eyre back into the spotlight. Darkly elegant illustrations draw back the novel’s curtain, revealing the depths of human depravity, despair, and ultimate redemption. Sure to impress traditional fans and newcomers alike, The Illustrated Jane Eyre updates the classic for a new era.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Edition of a Classic Novel, February 22, 2007
If you are a Jane Eyre fan, junkie, or a first time reader, this is a wonderful edition to pick up. Dame Darcy brings the Gothic elements to life in her illustrations with an artistic flourish. I love these illustrations! They both complement the novel and are great on their own. This book was great to have on hand in class discussion on Jane Eyre and gothic literature.

The text of this copy is the second edition of Jane Eyre with it's great preface by Bronte. It is a wonderful novel.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for me but..., March 30, 2008
It was still well written and CB is good at keeping her readers interested in the characters and the plotting of the story. The ending was rather a bit too predictable for me and after investing two sleepless nights into this book, I was extreamly disappointed in the ending of this story. It is also a romance novel. I am not a great fan of romance novles without a complicated and intensely created plot so this element of the book did not appeal to me at all. I should've read this book as a young adult, as this is the audience the book is geared to. I would've enjoyed it more then. But if you are a fan of romance novels with many trials and tribulations of course thrown in, this is an elegant tale for you.
Now in assessing the art of this book. When I first looked through this book and read it I was not happy, though not disappointed in the artwork. After reading this book and looking at the artwork of other versions of this story, I was a little miffed. The artwork is mostly of Jane Eyre, and none of the artwork really captured her features and personality at all. This cast a darkned element over the book and almost "forced" a victorian viewpoint of this story. I think the artwork of other versions are much better by comparrison.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant illustrations, September 26, 2007
By S. Williams (Chicago, Illinois) - See all my reviews
This illustrated edition has gorgeous neo-victorian ink illustrations by Dame Darcy, reminiscent of the style of Edward Gorey, author/illustrator of "Amphigorey," among others. There weren't so many as to be distracting; only enough to make you anticipate one as the story reached an important turning point. Highly recommended for readers who enjoy a bit of contemporary art with their classic lit.

I always thought that "Jane Eyre" would be a difficult read, but it isn't. Unlike Jane Austen books which have a lot of flourished writing, this book has more modern language.
