Bronte
Brontë, Charlotte
Brontë, Charlotte (1816–55) English novelist and poet. Her personal life was unhappy and she persistently suffered from ill health. Born into genteel poverty, her mother, four sisters, and dissolute brother Branwell died early. Charlotte died in childbirth within a year of her marriage. Her four novels,
The Professor (1846),
Jane Eyre (1847),
Shirley (1849), and
Villette (1853) are works of remarkable passion and imagination. Like her sisters Emily
Brontë and Anne
Brontë, Charlotte's writings initially appeared under a male pseudonym (Currer Bell).
