Jane Eyre claims her independence from Rochester when she states, "I am no bird and no net ensnares me. I am a human being with an independent will which I will now exert to leave you." She is a remarkably independent and strong willed woman, especially when it was published in 1847. Charlotte Bronte even used a pseudonym to publish it. See my other feminist and bookish designs.

Birds are a recurrent theme throughout Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre. I have selected bird related pasages from the novel and collaged the text in chaffinches over a feather pattern marbled paper in blue green and yellow. 'I see at intervals the glance of a curious sort of bird through the close-set bars of a cage: a vivid, restless, resolute captive is there'.Perfect for snuggling down with a good book.
