Lese- und Medienproben
Charlotte Brontë (1816–1855) was an acclaimed English novelist and poet, now best remembered for her seminal novel, 'Jane Eyre' (1847), an archetypal work of Victorian literature that melds gothic elements with a profound psychological acuity. Born on April 21, 1816, in Thornton, West Yorkshire, Charlotte was the third of six children born to Maria Branwell Brontë and Patrick Brontë, an Irish Anglican clergyman. Raised in the remote village of Haworth on the Yorkshire moors, Charlotte's upbringing was marked by the early loss of her mother and two elder siblings. These formative hardships forged a bond between the surviving Brontë children—Charlotte, Branwell, Emily, and Anne—who collectively found solace and escape in the creation of intricate imaginary worlds, which later evolved into their literary works. While 'Wuthering Heights' is sometimes misattributed to Charlotte, it was in fact penned by her sister Emily Brontë and is also considered a classic in its own right. Charlotte Brontë's literary style is characterized by its directness, emotional intensity, and keen social commentary, often criticizing the constraints imposed on women and the working classes in the 19th-century British society. Besides 'Jane Eyre', Brontë authored several other works, including 'Shirley' (1849) and 'Villette' (1853). Her novels are praised for their depth of characterization and innovative narrative techniques. Charlotte's influence on English literature is indelible, and her works continue to be celebrated for their courage in confronting contemporary social issues and advocating for women's autonomy. Brontë died on March 31, 1855, leaving behind a legacy of literary innovation and feminist thought that resonates to the present day.
