The Letters of Charlotte Bronte (extract 1 of 4)

The brief and tragic life of Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855) is captured here in these selected extracts of her letters. She recounts the long winter evenings spent in the bleak Haworth parsonage in the company of her sisters Emily and Anne; her having worked as a Governess and having lived abroad in Brussels, and her return to the moors where she writes her most successful novel Jane Eyre. She then enters the most tragic period of her life as her brother Branwell, a drunk, dies in September 1848 followed within twelve months by both of her sisters. Charlotte then marries her father's curate, only to die herself a few months later. These letters provide an emotional and intimate insight into the '...wild, sad life and the beautiful character that grew out of it'.
