About Charlotte Bronte

Charlotte Brontë was born at Thornton, Yorkshire in 1816, the third child of Patrick and Maria Brontë. Her father was perpetual curate of Haworth, Yorkshire from 1820 until his death in 1861. Her mother died in 1821, leaving five daughters and a son. Charlotte was employed as a teacher from 1835 to 1838, was subsequently a governess, and in 1842 went with her sister Emily to study languages in Brussels, where during 1843 she again worked as a teacher. Charlotte’s first novel, The Professor, was rejected by several publishers and was not published until 1857. Jane Eyre was published in 1847 and achieved immediate success. In 1848 Branwell Brontë died, as did Emily before the end of the same year, and Anne in the following summer, so that Charlotte alone survived of the six children. Charlotte married in 1854 the Revd A. B Nicholls, her father’s curate, but died in March 1855.

Jane Eyre Sep 27, 2021

by Charlotte Brontë

( 14,635 )

$3.99

Charlotte Brontë’s most beloved novel describes the passionate love between the courageous orphan Jane Eyre and the brilliant, brooding, and domineering Rochester.

The loneliness and cruelty of Jane’s childhood strengthens her natural independence and spirit, which prove invaluable when she takes a position as a governess at Thornfield Hall. But after she falls in love with her sardonic employer, her discovery of his terrible secret forces her to make a heart-wrenching choice. Ever since its publication in 1847, "Jane Eyre" has enthralled every kind of reader, from the most critical and cultivated to the youngest and most unabashedly romantic. It lives as one of the great triumphs of storytelling and as a moving and unforgettable portrayal of a woman's quest for self-respect.

by Charlotte Bronte

$1.99

Set in the industrializing England of the Napoleonic wars and Luddite revolts of 1811-12, Shirley (1849) is the story of two contrasting heroines.

The other is the vivacious Shirley Keeldar, who inherits a local estate and whose wealth liberates her from convention.

Villette [Annotated]: Charlotte Bronte (Fiction Villette Charlotte Bronte Victorian literature Romance novel story adventure) Sep 17, 2021

$3.97

Villette, written in 1853 by Charlotte Bronte, details the life of the first-person narrator, Lucy Snowe, and her transition to adulthood after moving from London, England, to Villette, France. The novel opens with Lucy’s visits with Mrs. Bretton, her godmother, and Mrs. Bretton’s son, John Graham Bretton. During these early years of Lucy’s life, another child named Paulina Home stays with the Brettons after her mother’s death.

While the reader does not find out much about Lucy’s past, she does reveal that she is left alone in the world and, dressed in mourning clothes, the reader can only presume that all of her close family have died. In this first bout of loneliness, she meets Miss Marchmont, an elderly lady who hires Lucy to travel with her and care for her.

After Miss Marchmont’s death, Lucy is once more left on her own. She perceives that the lights of the Aurora Borealis speak to her and tell her to travel to London, where her spirit is bolstered even more by the impressive architecture of St. Paul’s Cathedral. It is in this section of the book, in Chapter Six, that Lucy decides to travel to France.

In this first part of the novel, Lucy is naive and unprepared for independent living. While she is able to secure an income for herself, she is still missing the emotional connection to others—hers is a life onky half-fulfilled.

Striking out on her own, Lucy ends up penniless in Villette, where she meets Madame Beck, who owns a school on Rue Fossette. Madame Beck hires Lucy to teach English at the school, where she finds success despite the obstacle of her Protestantism in a Catholic environment. While Lucy is no longer penniless, she doesn’t have the family or friends that she had back home, and slips into depression. Her health declines until she faints one day. Loneliness leading to illness is a recurring theme in Villette...

$4.35

Shirley, A Tale is a social novel by the English novelist Charlotte Brontë, first published in 1849. It was Brontë's second published novel after Jane Eyre (originally published under Brontë's pseudonym Currer Bell). The novel is set in Yorkshire in 1811–12, during the industrial depression resulting from the Napoleonic Wars and the War of 1812. The novel is set against the backdrop of the Luddite uprisings in the Yorkshire textile industry.

The novel's popularity led to Shirley's becoming a woman's name. The title character was given the name that her father had intended to give a son. Before the publication of the novel Shirley was an uncommon but distinctly male name.[1] Today it is regarded as a distinctly female name.

$2.99

The story of a young Englishman who becomes a teacher at a Belgian girls’ school from the author of Jane Eyre.

An orphan taken in by his uncles and educated at Eton, William Crimsworth rejects his relatives’ plans to marry him off to his cousin and set him up with a career in the church, so he leaves to make his own way in the world. Unfortunately, William’s attempt to become a tradesman leads to unhappiness—but when he makes his way to Belgium and finds a place at a girls’ school as a teacher, his future is irrevocably changed.

Though it remained unpublished until after her death, The Professor was Charlotte Brontë’s first novel, inspired by her own experiences as a student and teacher, which lend the story the emotional power for which her fiction is so well known.
