It was written in 1847, and it covers several years; the time in Charlotte Bronte's life when she had (some) similar experiences to Jane's was about 1824-1844.
I don't remember any years mentioned, but I read it years ago.

Jane Eyre Time Period

Actually, contrary to popular belief, Charlotte said she could not write about modern topics so she set the story in the past. If you pay attention to the newly published book St. John hands Jane, it was first published in 1808, and if it were Victorian times then Jane would be traveling by train (not horse and carriage) plus there are public portraits of King George III and not the Queen throughout the book s narrative. Jane Eyre occurs during the Regency Era, more specifically, the main events occur anywhere between 1805 to 1812.

When Was Jane Eyre Written

This question is not easily answered, as there are conflicting timeline references in the narrative of Jane Eyre. At the start of ch. 11, Jane had arrived at the George Inn in Millcote, where she describes a parlour with portraits of both George the Third and his son, the Prince of Wales. George the Third was King of England from 25 October 1760 to 29 January 1820, though the Prince of Wales ruled as Prince Regent from 1811 until his father's death in 1820, where upon he became King George the Fourth. Both portraits _could_ imply that this was during the Regency. Later in ch. 11, Adele Varens described traveling "on a great ship with a chimney that smoked" which is steamship travel, indicating the Regency Period or later. In ch. 32, however, when Jane is teaching at the village school in Morton, St. John brings her a book containing the epic poem "Marmion" by Sir Walter Scott, published in 1808, pre-Regency; it is said to be a _new_ publication. In all honesty, a tough one to call.

I'd say 1840s, as it was written in the late 1840s. Obviously the stuff when she's a child is earlier on. There's also the increased interest in education for normal people, though of a non compulsory nature.

I looked online but couldn't find an answer to that question. However, I was surprised to find out that all the Bronte' sisters' books can be read online. If anyone wants to read them, all I did was put in the browser "books by Bronte sisters" and a link came up that said "books by the Bronte' sisters, free to read online." Sure enough, they were all there. What a great site!

According to the books that are referenced in the novel (the latest date being 1817). Also the book takes place during the reign of king George III (1760-1820), so I would say that Jane was born in ca. 1800, her childhood at Gateshead in 1810 (10 years old) and she arrives at Thorn field in ca. 1818 and leaves St. John in 1819, 10 months later. So yeah - the main events take place in ca. 1817-1820
