Introduction
Charlotte Brontë was born in 1816 in Yorkshire, in the north of England. When she was four years old, her father became the vicar of Haworth, a small town on the Yorkshire Moors. Charlotte’s mother died a year after they moved and their aunt came to look after the five children. When Charlotte was eight, she was sent away to school with Maria and Elizabeth, two of her sisters. Her sisters died at the school.
After leaving school Charlotte became a governess and a teacher, spending some time in Belgium. But she always missed her beloved moors when she was away.
Charlotte Brontë wrote Jane Eyre in 1847, under the name Currer Bell, as novels by women were not often published. It tells the story of the orphan Jane Eyre who becomes a governess at Thornfield Hall. Here she falls in love with its owner, Mr Rochester – and discovers his terrible secret.
Charlotte Brontë wrote three other novels: Shirley (1849), Villette (1853) and The Professor (published in 1857 after her death). But Jane Eyre is the most popular because it was one of the first novels to tell a story from a young child’s point of view. Jane Eyre is only ten when her story begins.
Charlotte Brontë did marry, but died a year later in 1855, at the age of thirty-nine.
