The quintessential romantic heroine -- and the prototype of Jane Eyre.Set in the imaginary kingdom of Angria, Charlotte Brontë’s early story of the Duke of Zamorna and his loyal mistress, Mina Laury, demonstrates the birth of her lifelong obsession with the degrees and forms of human passion. 'Mina Laury' is taken from The Juvenilia of Jane Austen and Charlotte Brontë, which is published in Penguin Classics.The cover shows a detail from Portrait of Henrietta Sontag, 1831, by Paul Delaroche, in the Hermitage, St. Petersburg (photo: Scala/Art Resource, NY)
