About the author

Charlotte Bronte is an author of significant standing in the history of English literature. Her writing life is closely associated with the parsonage on the Yorkshire moors, and her works generally centre on women coming of age in isolated settings, exploring the tension between dignity, independence and feeling. The collection holds six of her works, including Jane Eyre, Villette, Shirley and The Professor, some complete and some in multi-volume English editions. She excels at first-person narration that unfolds a character's inner life, with a quiet yet intense style, and her books have influence in both foreign literature and inspirational-growth categories. Public information about her specific life and education is limited, and no conjecture is offered here.
