Charlotte Brontë ( 21 April 1816 – 31 March 1855) was an English novelist and poet, the eldest of the three Brontë sisters who survived into adulthood and whose novels have become classics of English literature.
She enlisted in school at Roe Head in January 1831, aged 14 years. She left the year after to teach her sisters, Emily and Anne, at home, returning in 1835 as a governess. In 1839 she undertook the role as governess for the Sidgwick family, but left after a few months to return to Haworth where the sisters opened a school, but failed to attract any students. Instead they turned to writing and they each first published in 1846 under the pseudonyms of Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell. Her first novel The Professor was rejected by publishers, her second novel Jane Eyre was published in 1847, although it was not initially well received; one critic described it as a "pre-eminently an anti-Christian composition". The sisters admitted to their Bell pseudonyms in 1848, and by the following year were celebrated in London literary circles.
Brontë experienced the early deaths of all her siblings. She became pregnant shortly after her marriage in June 1854 but died on 31 March 1855 of tuberculosis or possibly typhus.
Jane Eyre (originally published as Jane Eyre: An Autobiography) is a novel by English writer Charlotte Brontë, published under the pen name "Currer Bell", on 16 October 1847, by Smith, Elder & Co. of London, England. The first American edition was published the following year by Harper & Brothers of New York.[citation needed]
Primarily a bildungsroman, Jane Eyre follows the experiences of its eponymous heroine, including her growth to adulthood and her love for Mr. Rochester, the Byronic master of Thornfield Hall. The focus is on the gradual unfolding of Jane's moral and spiritual sensibility, and Jane Eyre revolutionised the art of fiction in the way that all the events are coloured by a heightened intensity that was previously the domain of poetry. Charlotte Brontë has been called the 'first historian of the private consciousness' and the literary ancestor of writers like Proust and Joyce. The novel contains elements of social criticism, with a strong sense of Christian morality at its core, and is considered by many to be ahead of its time because of Jane's individualistic character and how the novel approaches the topics of class, sexuality, religion, and feminism.

重讀瞭夏洛蒂·勃朗特的《簡·愛》,距離上一次讀它已經有20年的時間。對於一個故事充斥的年代來說,這部19世紀並不以情節齣眾的小說和小說的女主人公的外貌一樣平平,甚至有些乏味,但是,還是有很多細節,很值得去深深體味一番。 《簡·愛》首先並不是一部超越瞭時代的作品...
評分昨天在豆瓣偶然瞥見一本名為《閣樓上的瘋女人》的新書,副標題是“女性作傢與19世紀文學想象”,那麼這個“瘋女人”顯然是指《簡·愛》中的伯莎·梅森。這偏巧是我極感興趣的一個女性形象,曾經還滿懷期待地買過一本以她為主角的小說《藻海無邊》,盡管事實證明此書似乎不閤我...
評分前幾天跟同事開玩笑說起,小時候看完簡·愛心情無比激動,但接著也隻能繼續看些颱灣小言瞭。 我給它五顆星,不說它立意如何,男主角如何,結局的局限性還是情節的不閤理,隻說它作為一本徹底的浪漫派愛情小說,已然是已經立於這類小說的一個高峰。你看完之後也許也就再去看看傲...
評分推薦給所有女性的必讀書——《簡愛》 12月3日,我觀看瞭國傢大劇院版本的話劇《簡愛》。從劇院中走齣,我的心久久不能平靜,想著總該是要寫些什麼東西的。 首先是演齣。作為國傢頂尖的話劇演齣團體,本劇的演員,布景,燈光,舞美的無可挑剔。尤其是女主角袁泉,完全演繹齣瞭簡...

評分光有愛情是不夠的,還要有原則有道德,愛情再濃烈不能高於某些律法:神聖的婚姻一旦締結再不人道也是神聖不可侵犯的,也不能委屈自己犧牲尊嚴地愛一個人;但為瞭某一理想走到一起而沒有愛情的婚姻是令人窒息的,等同於殉道。這是Bronte的愛情宣言。筆觸非常細膩,老少戀竟然還有不少充滿小把戲的調侃,最有意思最動人的當然是他們相互試探彼此靠近的過程。炙熱的愛情,毫不掩飾的內心袒露在讀者麵前,非常感人。
評分很悶很瓊瑤
評分多年之後重讀,發現猶如沒有讀過一般,太美瞭!
評分文筆裡腔調拿得很開,不適閤男性同胞。
