Upperwood House, also known as Ashdown House, is significant in Jane Eyre (2011) because it is where Charlotte Brontë worked as a governess for the Whites' children. This mirrors Jane Eyre, as she worked as a governess at Thornfield; Brontë also felt her role was isolating and demanding, which drove her to start writing. I found this information from an academic article on Cambridge.org. This source is an example of peer support and mentorship because it allows people to learn from each other by providing academic information. Mapping this location on COVE allows future students to build on what I found, maybe even using the same academic website I used. This is important to do in order to keep past literature alive today.
