Comments on the Karen Swallow Prior edition of Jane Eyre :
Professor Prior's Introduction and "Reflection Questions" are helpful. However, they are oriented towards reinforcing the faith of
evangelical Christians and, if that is not your motivation for reading, that can be a little off-putting. On the other hand, she footnotes Biblical references which may be absent in other editions. I recommend readers get the Norton Critical Editions version instead.
