The Life of Charlotte Brontë

This book is dedicated to one of the most famous English writers of the 19th century, whose novel "Jane Eyre" enjoys immense popularity worldwide. However, few know how tragically the fate of Charlotte Brontë unfolded. She bravely and with dignity endured all the hardships and trials that came her way. Having outlived her sisters and brother, Charlotte Brontë married quite late but died less than a year after the wedding — she was 38 years old. This and much more (about the life of the Brontë family, the creative work of her sisters Emily and Anne, literary debut and fame, meetings with writers, etc.) is told by another famous English writer — Elizabeth Gaskell. Her acquaintance with Charlotte Brontë took place in 1850, and for almost five years, they were bound by personal and creative friendship. The book "The Life of Charlotte Brontë" is a valuable biographical source, based on rich documentary material: E. Gaskell included hundreds of letters from C. Brontë and her correspondents (friends, relatives, authors, publishers) in the text.

The book is equipped with an insert of illustrations.
