Publisher Description

The most romantic literary lovers in history: Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester. Oliver Mellors and Constance Chatterley. Marie Shabata and Emil Bergson. Now, all three of their classic stories are collected in one volume: The Classic Romance Collection - Volume I featuring Charlotte Brontë's "Jane Eyre," D.H. Lawrence's "Lady Chatterley's Lover" and Willa Cather's "O Pioneers!"


First, the story of young, orphaned Jane Eyre who is turned away from her family and must make her own way in the world. When she is hired on as a governess for a rich landowner, she becomes attracted to the brooding and mysterious master of the manor who harbors a dark and terrible secret. Truly one of the great romance novels of all time.  


Next, D.H. Lawrence's controversial and sensational novel of infidelity and sexual awakening, "Lady Chatterley's Lover." Banned in multiple countries for its shocking and frank language, this is the story of Lady Constance Chatterley whose husband is confined to a wheelchair. When she takes on her husband's groundskeeper Mellors as a lover, her entire world is upended as both class and societal barriers collapse around her.  


Finally, Willa Cather's breakout drama of love on the prairie, "O Pioneers!" At the center of this novel of life on the great plains is the romance of Marie Shabata, trapped in an unhappy marriage, and her would-be lover Emil who attempts to flee his attraction to her but is continually drawn back, unable to resist the pull of their forbidden passion.  


Three classic novels of love, drama and romance collected together for the first time, these books are presented in their original and unabridged format.

About Charlotte Brontë

Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855) was an English novelist and poet and the eldest of a trio of legendary writers who became known as "the Brontë sisters." Each of the three sisters managed to create novels that would become classics of English literature: Charlotte's "Jane Eyre," Emily's "Wuthering Heights" and Anne's "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall." The oldest of six children born to clergyman Patrick Brontë and his wife Maria, Charlotte attended the Clergy Daughter's School, which was so poorly run and unsanitary that Charlotte would later blame their attendance at this school for the deaths of two of her sisters, Maria and Elizabeth, both of whom died of tuberculosis. The four surviving siblings, Branwell, Emily, Anne and Charlotte, created an imaginary world called "Glass Town," and would each contribute poems, stories and geographical details of this mythical place to help them escape the difficulties of their childhood and would plant the seeds for their later literary success. At the time, the idea of publishing a female author was frowned upon, thus Charlotte and her sisters created a pseudonymous trio of brothers - Currer (Charlotte), Ellis (Emily) and Acton (Anne) Bell - in order to get their books into print. Charlotte's first book, "The Professor" was not accepted by a publisher, but her second book, "Jane Eyre," was an immediate success. Charlotte's sisters each published their own books but their enjoyment of their literary success was short-lived. The family suffered the deaths of Branwell, Emily and Anne in just a few short months in late 1848/early 1949 (the latter two of tuberculosis) and Charlotte herself, while struggling through her first, difficult pregnancy, died in 1854 at the age of thirty-eight. Few families in history have produced as many literary powerhouses as the Brontë sisters and their works have been adapted numerous times for the stage and screen.

D.H. Lawrence

D.H. Lawrence was an English novelist and poet whose most famous works broke barriers in the publishing world with their frank and graphic discussions of sexuality and his examination of social norms.Born into poverty, young Lawrence excelled in school and became particularly enamored with literature. He began writing early and even won a short story competition while still a student. Lawrence graduated with a teaching certificate and soon began working as an instructor, but his success in writing soon eclipsed his career in academics. By 1910, he had published his first novel, "The White Peacock."After eloping to Germany with Frieda Weekley (who was married when they began their affair), Lawrence began traveling about Europe, writing all the while. He published "The Trespasser" in 1912, a play called "The Daughter-in-Law" the same year and then gained real notoriety by penning "The Rainbow" (1915) and "Women In Love" (1920), both of which were banned in the UK due to the books' adult themes and frank discussions of both sexuality and homosexuality.Lawrence attempted to return to England, but was under constant harassment by the authorities who viewed him - because of his literary themes - to be an undesirable in his native country. This compelled Lawrence to begin a worldwide "savage pilgrimage" which took him all over the planet and inspired him to write a number of popular travel books. He and Frieda settled in New Mexico for two years before moving to Northern Italy where he would write a series of poems, essays and his most famous novel, "Lady Chatterley's Lover."Lawrence suffered from a number of serious health problems and, after a brief stint in a sanitarium, he died of tuberculosis in 1930 at the age of forty-four.After his death, "Lady Chatterley's Lover" became the subject of a groundbreaking obscenity lawsuit in England and the "not guilty" verdict in 1960 cleared the way for publishers to print a number of books that had been previously banned.

Willa Cather

Willa Cather was an American novelist who wrote tales of the Great Plains and stories of immigrant and migrant families who settled the American West. She won the Pulitzer Prize for her book "One of Ours," which explored romantic idealism, the frustrations of life in middle America and how World War I profoundly changed the lives of the young men who fought in the conflict. It was published in 1923.Cather was born in Virginia, but her family relocated to Nebraska when Willa was nine years old. They settled in the town of Red Cloud, where her father initially attempted to become a farmer, but eventually moved into the real estate and insurance business. Willa attended school for the first time after the family arrived in Nebraska.Eventually, she would graduate from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and spend ten years in Pittsburgh, working as a teacher and a magazine editor at Home Monthly, often contributing her own stories and poems to the publication. After working at the Pittsburgh Leader, Cather moved to New York and began working as an editor at McClure's Magazine where she also contributed stories. They would eventually serialize her first novel, "Alexander's Bridge" in 1912.Cather followed up her first book with what would become known as the "Prairie Trilogy": "O Pioneers!" (1913), "Song of the Lark" (1915) and "My Antonia" 1918. By this time, Cather had firmly established herself as a writer and her Pulitzer for "One of Ours" would forever cement her as a major figure in American literature. Her follow-up, "Death Comes for the Archbishop" (1927) would be cited as one of Modern Library's Best 100 Novels of the 20th century.She lived with her domestic partner, Edith Lewis, for 39 years before developing breast cancer and dying of a cerebral hemorrhage in 1947. She is buried beside Lewis in Jaffrey, New Hampshire.
