關於作者

Charlotte Bronte (1816-1855) was a British novelist of the Victorian era, best known for her novel Jane Eyre. Born into a Yorkshire clergyman's family, she grew up alongside her literary sisters, Emily and Anne Brontë. Her early experiences at boarding school greatly influenced her writing, particularly in Jane Eyre, which reflects the harsh educational environment she endured. Publishing under the male pseudonym "Currer Bell," she introduced strong, independent female protagonists who challenged societal norms. Her works emphasize personal growth and women's autonomy within restrictive social structures. She later published Shirley and Villette, both of which contain autobiographical elements. In 1854, she married but tragically passed away the following year due to complications during pregnancy. Today, her novels remain significant in both feminist literature and 19th-century English literature.
