Charlotte Brontë ( 21 April 1816 – 31 March 1855) was an English novelist and poet, the eldest of the three Brontë sisters who survived into adulthood and whose novels have become classics of English literature.
She enlisted in school at Roe Head in January 1831, aged 14 years. She left the year after to teach her sisters, Emily and Anne, at home, returning in 1835 as a governess. In 1839 she undertook the role as governess for the Sidgwick family, but left after a few months to return to Haworth where the sisters opened a school, but failed to attract any students. Instead they turned to writing and they each first published in 1846 under the pseudonyms of Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell. Her first novel The Professor was rejected by publishers, her second novel Jane Eyre was published in 1847, although it was not initially well received; one critic described it as a "pre-eminently an anti-Christian composition". The sisters admitted to their Bell pseudonyms in 1848, and by the following year were celebrated in London literary circles.
Brontë experienced the early deaths of all her siblings. She became pregnant shortly after her marriage in June 1854 but died on 31 March 1855 of tuberculosis or possibly typhus.
Jane Eyre (originally published as Jane Eyre: An Autobiography) is a novel by English writer Charlotte Brontë, published under the pen name "Currer Bell", on 16 October 1847, by Smith, Elder & Co. of London, England. The first American edition was published the following year by Harper & Brothers of New York.[citation needed]
Primarily a bildungsroman, Jane Eyre follows the experiences of its eponymous heroine, including her growth to adulthood and her love for Mr. Rochester, the Byronic master of Thornfield Hall. The focus is on the gradual unfolding of Jane's moral and spiritual sensibility, and Jane Eyre revolutionised the art of fiction in the way that all the events are coloured by a heightened intensity that was previously the domain of poetry. Charlotte Brontë has been called the 'first historian of the private consciousness' and the literary ancestor of writers like Proust and Joyce. The novel contains elements of social criticism, with a strong sense of Christian morality at its core, and is considered by many to be ahead of its time because of Jane's individualistic character and how the novel approaches the topics of class, sexuality, religion, and feminism.

评分 评分初次读简爱是中学时代的缩略本,中英对照,也好顺便练一下英文嘛。时隔十多年细细读原本,发现开始的情节还记得很清楚,到罗切斯特先生已婚事实发现后,几乎全忘了。 在很多人的印象里,简是坚强独立女性的代表,但时至今日的我读来却发现,她不过是一个骨子里自卑而至拼命自...
评分重读了夏洛蒂·勃朗特的《简·爱》,距离上一次读它已经有20年的时间。对于一个故事充斥的年代来说,这部19世纪并不以情节出众的小说和小说的女主人公的外貌一样平平,甚至有些乏味,但是,还是有很多细节,很值得去深深体味一番。 《简·爱》首先并不是一部超越了时代的作品...

评分After a few eps of dude-watchin' with the Brontes, I conclude that both Charlotte and Emily have the most eccentric tastes in men.
