Charlotte Brontë Collected editions

Charlotte Brontë (1816 – 1855) was an English novelist and poet whose groundbreaking novel Jane Eyre combined romance, Gothic mystery, and social critique. Her fiction often explored the inner lives and moral struggles of women, pushing against the limitations imposed by Victorian society.

Raised in the isolated Yorkshire village of Haworth alongside her literary sisters Emily and Anne, Charlotte developed a distinctive voice marked by emotional intensity and psychological depth. Her other works — Shirley and Villette — further demonstrate her range and vision.

Charlotte Brontë’s influence endures through her fearless heroines and her unflinching examination of identity, passion, and independence.
