创作背景
作者创作《简·爱》时的英国已是世界上的头号工业大国，但英国妇女的地位并没有改变，依然处于从属、依附的地位，女子的生存目标就是要嫁入豪门，即便不能生在富贵人家，也要努力通过婚姻获得财富和地位，女性职业的惟一选择是当个好妻子、好母亲。
以作家为职业的女性会被认为是违背了正当女性气质，会受到男性的激烈攻击，从夏洛蒂姐妹的作品当初都假托男性化的笔名一事，可以想见当时的女性作家面临着怎样的困境。而《简·爱》就是在这一被动的背景下写成的。
艺术特色
大量运用心理描写是这本小说的一大特色。全书构思精巧，情节波澜起伏，给读者制造出一种阴森恐怖的气氛，而又不脱离一个中产阶级家庭的背景。
作者还以行情的笔法描写了主人公之间的真挚爱情和自然风景，感情色彩丰富而强烈。在风景描绘上，作者以画家的审美角度去鉴赏，以画家的情趣去把握光和影的和谐。色彩斑斓的景物细致生动，用词精确。
