Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855) remains one of the most influential and revered figures in the canon of English literature. Born in Thornton, West Yorkshire, England, she was the third of six children born to Patrick and Maria Bronte. Tragedy touched her early life; her mother and two older sisters died when she was quite young, leading to the creation of a tight-knit remaining family, including her sisters Emily and Anne, with whom she would eventually publish a joint collection of poetry under male pseudonyms. Known for her intense, passionate writing style, Brontë's novels explored the complexities of the human heart, the rigid social structure of Victorian society, and the struggles of independent women within that context. Her first novel, 'Jane Eyre' (1847), is considered a classic of English literature and was revolutionary for its first-person narrative from a female perspective. This, along with her other major works such as 'Shirley' (1849), which tackled industrial unrest and the plight of women in society, and 'Villette' (1853), a narrative that delves into the psyche of its protagonist, as well as her posthumously published 'The Professor' and juvenilia, are included in 'The Complete Novels of the Brontë Sisters'. Charlotte's prose style, characterized by its clarity, emotional force, and psychological depth, has inspired generations of writers. Her legacy endures not only in the literary realm but also as a symbol of women's independence and creative expression during a time when both were significantly undervalued.
