It is said nothing about the time of the events happening but it's not difficult to guess. I suppose it takes place in about 18th century. Firstly I can set it up due to the clothes characters wear: muslin frocks- for servants, long posh dresses - for rich ladies, bonnets, "strict"hairstyle. And the fact of dividing on masters and servants makes me consider this way.
Moreover I found Jane being a rather educated, enthusiastic in her occupation, reasonable and really respected young lady. And, to my mind, these features are inherent in people living in that very time.
Then our Jane stays at the Mr Rochester's place and it is - Thornfield Hall - really kind of castle in some floors with many rooms. This fact is quite strong, isn't it?
Possibly it is connected with the writer's period of time. I'm not sure of course, but I can have such a thought due to the writing style - it's not modern and a lot of phrases are old-fangled but very smart. I don't think young people used to speaking like that way nowdays.

I think that the most interesting information in novels is describing a culture, wear. It helps every reader understand values and traditions of that years. And of course, when we read about culture we dipped in that days. It's breathtakingly! )
