1850年左右的英式英语和现在的英式英语有何不同之处,差别大吗,差别在哪里?应为我现在在看简爱的英文版,不知道读它会不会有困难,不适合现在的英语交流?谢谢啊……

This is a difficult topic and requires a lot of research or discussing with an expert.

I would advise finding some English texts from the 1850s and comparing them to modern texts.

You can use this Webster's 1828 dictionary

and compare with modern definitions at

Here is some suggested reading:

See H. L. Mencken, The American Language (rev. 4th ed. 1963); G. W. Turner, The English Language in Australia and New Zealand (1966);M. Pei, The Story of the English Language (new ed. 1968); P. Roberts, Modern Gramma
