BE CLASSIC with Jane Eyre, introduced by New York Times bestselling author Gayle Forman.
CHARLOTTE BRONT lived from 1816 to 1855. In 1824 she was sent away
to school with her four sisters and they were treated so badly that
their father brought them home to Haworth in Yorkshire. The elder
two sisters died within a few days, and Charlotte and her sisters
Emily and Anne were brought up in the isolated village.
Once Charlotte's informal education was over she began to work as a
governess and teacher in Yorkshire and Belgium so that she could
add to the low family income and help to pay for her brother
Branwell's art education. The three sisters all began to write more
seriously and published a book of poetry in 1846 under male pen
names - there was a lot of prejudice against women writers. The
book was not a success and the sisters all moved on to write
novels. Charlotte's best-known book, Jane Eyre, appeared in 1847
and was soon seen as a work of genius.
