About Charlotte Brontë
Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855) was an English novelist and poet, the eldest of the three Brontë sisters whose novels became classics of English literature. Born in Yorkshire, she and her sisters were initially educated at home, then briefly at a harsh boarding school that would influence her depictions of Lowood School in Jane Eyre.
Jane Eyre, published in 1847 under the pen name 'Currer Bell,' was immediately successful and controversial. Its passionate first-person narrative, its focus on a woman's inner life and moral choices, and its critique of social conventions made it groundbreaking. Brontë created one of literature's most independent and morally uncompromising heroines—a woman who chooses self-respect over love, who maintains her integrity despite poverty and isolation, and who speaks with a voice that remains powerful and relevant today.
