description: Charlotte Brontë won great fame with her semi-autobiographical novels Jane Eyre, Shirley, Villette, and The Professor . Her life story is almost as well-known as the history of her most popular herione, from her bereaved yet extraordinarily creative childhood in a bleak Yorkshire parsonage toher early death just months into a happy marriage to her father's curate. Few writers have had the facts of their lives so inextricably linked with the fiction they wrote. This book, written by an acknowledged expert on the Brontes and beautifully illustrated throughout, provides a fluent, objectiveand compassionate account of the life of a much loved genius of English literature.
