Books by Charlotte Brontë

Charlotte Brontë (1816–1855) was an English novelist and poet, the eldest of the three Brontë sisters whose work transformed Victorian fiction. Her first published novel, Jane Eyre (1847), brought immediate success and remains one of the best-known novels in the English language. Villette (1853) drew heavily on her own experience teaching in Brussels in the early 1840s and is considered her most psychologically sophisticated work. She published under the pseudonym Currer Bell until her identity became known. She died at thirty-eight, reportedly of complications from pregnancy.
