Charlotte Bronte (1816-1855) was the daughter of an Anglican clergyman who had moved with his family to Haworth amid the Yorkshire moors in 1820. The landscape around the parsonage, the lonely rolling moors and wild wind, influences all the Bronte sisters deeply. "All around the horizon the is this same line of sinuous wave-like hills; the scoops into which they fall only revealing other hills beyond, of similar colour and shape, crowned with wild, bleak moors - grand, from the ideas of solitude and loneliness which they suggest, or oppressive from the feeling which they give of being pent-up by some monotonous and illimitable barrier, according to the mood of mind in which the spectator may be." (Elizabet Gaskell in The Life of Charlotte Bronte After their mother and two eldest children died, Chalotte was left with her sisters Emily and Anne, and brother Branwell (1817-1848) to the care of their father, and their strict, religious aunt, Elisabeth Branwell. The Brontes were small, Emily was considered to be tall at that time, but Charlotte's dress preserved in the Bronte Parsonage Museum would perhaps fit nowadays a eleven-year old. At the upstairs of the parsonage, a small house, was two bedrooms and a third room, scarcely bigger than a closet, in which the sisters played their games. The front door opened almost directly on to the churchyard. To escape their unhappy surroundings, the children listened stories about the often violent behavior of the countryfolk. When other children enjoyed to play outdoors, they created imaginary kingdoms, which were built around Branwell's toy soldiers, and which inspired them to create continuing stories of fantasylands. Later in a poem Charlotte wrote:

Help Search: Biography of Charlotte Bronte (1816-1855) Charlotte Bronte Charlotte Bront« was born in 1816, the third child of the Reverend Patrick Bront« and Maria Branwell Bront«. Patrick Bront« was an Anglican, Cambridge-educated clergyman of Irish birth. The couple had six children before Maria Bront« died of cancer in 1821. The Reverend Bront« subsequently treated his children Maria, Elizabeth, Charlotte, Patrick Branwell, Emily, and Anne in a severe manner. He also had the five girls sent to school at Cowan Bridge. At the Clergy Daughter's school, conditions were poor. When fever broke out at the school, Maria and Elizabeth succumbed to the disease. Consequently, Charlotte, Emily, and Anne were withdrawn and brought home. The children's Aunt Bess, their dead mother's sister Elizabeth Branwell, became their new instructor. Though the four children were deeply affected by the death of their two sisters, they filled their spare time with endeavors to fulfill their imaginations. This was perhaps necessary given that the environment that surrounded them was the dreary moor of Yorkshire, England. For example, when their father gave Patrick Branwell a box of toy soldiers, they used these miniatures as a source of inspiration to begin their respective writing adventures. Thus, the Bront« children began to write at an early age at least partly as a response to the fantasies of their youth.

The Bronte Sisters Researcher: Rachel Sahlman Artist: Dick Strandberg Three writers who influenced the direction of the English novel also happened to be sisters. Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Bronte were all born in Thornton, England in the early 1800s. Their father Patrick was born in Ireland, educated in England, and became an Anglican clergyman. He and his wife had six children. The two oldest daughters, Maria and Elizabeth died before reaching adulthood. Of the remaining children, Charlotte was the eldest, born April 21, 1816; followed by brother Patrick Branwell, born June 26, 1817; then Emily, born July 30, 1818; and Anne, born January 17, 1820. Shortly after Anne's birth, their father accepted a position in Haworth, located within the Yorkshire moors. Mrs. Bronte died soon after reaching Haworth, and the children were cared for by an aunt named Elizabeth Branwell. In 1824, Charlotte and Emily were sent to Clergy Daughters' School at Cowan Bridge in Lancashire, but they returned within a year. The treatment at Cowan Bridge was considered harsh, and Charlotte later modeled Lowood School (Jane Eyre) after it. For the next several years, the Bronte children were taught at home. They invented games and told imaginary stories to each other. Charlotte attended Miss Wooler's school at Roe Head for one year in 1831, then returned home and taught her sisters. Charlotte returned to Roe Head as a teacher in 1835, but after suffering from depression and ill health, she resigned from her position. It was at Roe Head that Charlotte met her lifelong friend Ellen Nussey. Her many letters to Nussey have served as the best documentation of her life.

Charlotte Bronte "Look into thought and say what dost thou see Dive, be not fearful how dark the waves flow Sink through the surge and bring pearls up to me Deeper aye deeper, the fairest lie low." Charlotte Bronte was born in 1816 in Haworth, Yorkshire. Her father, Patrick, a minister, enforced strict, often cruel discipline. But when Charlotte's mother died in 1821, the Bronte children were left mostly to themselves: they roamed the moors, wrote fantastic legends that they recorded in tiny handmade books, and read omnivorously. Charlotte particularly admired Wordsworth and Southey. in 1835 she became a teacher (later a private governess)-the only suitable occupation for "a lady," but one she detested. She studied under M. Hegier in Burssels, returning briefly as an English teacher at his school. In 1846 Charlotte Bronte put together a joint volume of verse by herself and her sisters, Emily and Anne. Published in 1846, under the pseudonym of Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell, it sold only two copies. Undaunted, Charlotte completed The Professor which remained unpublished until after her death. But a kind note from one publisher encouraged her to finish

Charlotte Bronte Charlotte Bronte was born at Thornton, Yorkshire, the third child of six of the Reverend Patrick Bronte and Maria Branwell Bronte. The Reverend was later appointed as curate in the small village of Haworth on the Yorkshire Mores where Charlotte spent most of her life. After her mother died, her father sent the five girls to school at Cowan Bridge. When a fever broke out at the school, the two older sisters succumbed to the disease. Charlotte, Emily and Anne wee then brought home and cared for by their Aunt Elizabeth. The girls severely affected by the death of their sisters spent much of their time engaging in activities of fantasy and imagination. A set of toy soldiers which had been given to their brother, Patrick, provided the inspiration for the girls writing. When Charlotte's father's health began to fail, he sent her away to Roehead School as he wanted her to be able to be independent. Mrs. Wooler, her teacher, helped Charlotte fill in the missing parts of her education. She earned several awards for outstanding scholarship and in 1832 declined a teaching position at Roehead. Charlotte instead, returned home to instruct her sisters. In the mornings they would spend time on their studies and in the afternoon, they would draw and spend time on the moor. After dinner they would use the time to sew and have tea. Charlotte also used this time to write fantasies.

Millions are condemned to a stiller doom than mine, and millions are in silent revolt against their lot....Women are supposed to be very calm generally: but women feel just as men feel; they need exercise for their faculties, and a field for their efforts, as much as their brothers do; they suffer from too rigid a restraint, too absolute a stagnation, precisely as men would suffer; and it is narrow-minded in their more privileged fellow-creatures to say that they ought to confine themselves to making puddings .knitting stockings .playing on the piano .It is thoughtless to condemn them, or laugh at them, if they seek to do more or learn more than custom has pronounced necessary for their sex.-Ch. 12 With a new kind of heroine defiantly virtuous, morally courageous and fiercely independent, Charlotte Bronte brought about change in the style of fiction of the day, presenting an unconventional woman to be admired for her ability to overcome adversity.

Literature Charlotte Bronte Charlotte Bront«, together with her sisters and fellow writers, Emily and Anne, and her brother Branwell, lived most of her life in an isolated parsonage in Yorkshire, where her father was a minister. From these quiet surroundings the three sisters spun passionate, romantic novels of powerful emotional energy that are still popular today. They began writing under the pen names of Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell, and first published a volume of twenty-one poems in 1846. The work failed, selling only two copies, and afterwards the sisters began working on novels. Charlotte was the only one of the three to become a successful novelist in her own lifetime. She spent some time working as a teacher and a governess, and would later use these experiences in her work. After her first book, THE PROFESSOR, was rejected, so she wrote JANE EYRE, the story of a downtrodden governess who wins the heart of the enigmatic Mr. Rochester, which was published in 1847. She followed up on its success with SHIRLEY (1849), and VILLETTE (1853), the latter of which is a nearly autobiographical account of her experiences of teaching in Belgium. In 1854, Charlotte married Arthur Bell Nicholls, her father’s curate. She soon became pregnant and died of complications in 1855, aged thirty-eight, leaving behind her novels that are still read and enjoyed today.

Topics on this Page Background Contemporary Reviews of Jane Eyre Point of View in ... Bronte Syllabus Background Just as Emily Dickinson's life gave rise to the Myth of the Recluse, so the Bronte homelife gave rise to the Myth of the Lonely Geniuses and to stories which sentimentalized the three Bronte sisters and demonized their homelife. For instance, there is the story that their father, a minister, fired his gun in the house. Another story runs that while his wife, who had born six children in seven years, lay dying, he destroyed her only silk dress. Stories like these are now regarded as false. Nonetheless, it is true that their homelife was difficult. Their mother died when Charlotte, Emily, Anne, and their brother Branwell were children; the two oldest sisters, Maria and Elizabeth, died young. Branwell was a drug addict and an alcoholic whom Charlotte, Emily, and Anne nursed through his collapses, his psychosis, and his final days. The devoted sisters found support and companionship in one another; at night, they read their novels and their poems to one another. Their society did not encourage women to fulfill their talents. The twenty-year old Charlotte wrote to Robert Southey, the poet laureate, for his opinion about writing. His response shows the barriers facing women writers: "Literature cannot be the business of a woman's life, and it ought not to be. The more she is engaged in her proper duties, the less leisure will she have for it, even as an accomplishment and a recreation."
