Charlotte Brontë

Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855) was an English novelist and poet, and the eldest of the three Brontë sisters. Her experiences in boarding schools, as a governess and a teacher eventually became the basis of her novels. Under pseudonyms the sisters published their first novels; Charlotte's first published novel, Jane Eyre(1847), written under a non de plume, was an immediate literary success. During the writing of her second novel all of her siblings died. With the publication of Shirley (1849) her true identity as an author was revealed. She completed three novels in her lifetime and over 200 poems.

Reviews for Jane Eyre (version 2)

[Patti Gernatt Brezina · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

What an amazing, well written, and inspiring book. Charlotte Brontë has a talent for portraying humans in such a human way, but also life and truth in such a captivating light. Well worth the time it took to finish it. Jane Eyre is such a wonderful character and will always live on in my mind although the book had to end some time!
