Charlotte Brontë (21 April 1816 – 31 March 1855) was the daughter of an English clergyman. She had two older sisters, Elizabeth and Maria, who died in a tuberculosis outbreak at their private school when she was young. She also had two younger sisters, Creator/EmilyBronte and Creator/AnneBronte, and a brother, Branwell.

She went on to publish ''Shirley'', ''Literature/{{Villette}}'', and ''The Professor'', and to marry Arthur Bell Nicholls, a colleague of her father who had given her an AnguishedDeclarationOfLove. Charlotte was probably pregnant with her first child when, tragically, she died - possibly from typhus, possibly from dehydration and malnourishment as a result of severe morning sickness.

It's easy to see the origins of ''Wuthering Heights'' and ''Jane Eyre'' in these narratives, which went on for their entire lives.
