Autorenporträt

Charlotte Brontë, born on April 21, 1816, in Thornton, West Yorkshire, was an English novelist and poet, widely revered for her novel 'Jane Eyre' (1847). Brontë was the eldest of the three Brontë sisters who survived into adulthood and whose novels have become classics of English literature. She first published her works, including 'Jane Eyre', under the pen name Currer Bell to mask her identity and avoid the prejudices against female writers of the Victorian era. 'Jane Eyre', which relates the experiences of its eponymous heroine, including her growth to adulthood and her love for Mr. Rochester, is considered a prime example of the bildungsroman genre, containing elements of social criticism, a strong sense of morality, and gothic mystique. Charlotte had a profound narrative gift; her works are distinguished by their vigorous and intuitive depiction of the inner lives of women, emphasizing their struggles for independent identity. Although 'Wuthering Heights' is not a work penned by Charlotte but by her sister Emily Brontë, Charlotte's preface to the 1850 edition of that novel played a significant role in its reception. Notable for her sharp, original intelligence, the depth of her emotional perception, and the innovative narrative techniques that charactize her prose, Charlotte Brontë remains a towering figure in British literature. She passed away on March 31, 1855, in Haworth, Yorkshire, but her legacy endures in the literary canon and feminist discourse.
