| Charlotte Bronte was born in 1816.
Her mother died in 1821, leaving her with her
father, Rev. Patrick Bronte. In 1824, Charlotte
was enrolled in a girl’s school for children
of the clergy, but was brought home the next year
when two of her sisters died. After that, she
went to school off and on, and for a time held a
governess’ position. In 1842, she went to
Brussels to complete her studies. In 1846,
Charlotte and her sisters began writing,
Charlotte under the pseudonym Currer Bell. She
did not reveal her true identity until 1848.
Shortly after that, her brother and sisters Emily
and Ann died. Charlotte continued writing, and
was proposed to in 1852 by the Rev. A.B. Nichols.
At first she refused, but eventually she married
him, in 1854. The same year she caught pneumonia
and died. List Of Works: Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell - 1846 Jane Eyre: An Autobiography - 1847 Shirley: A Tale - 1849 Villete - 1853 The Professor: A Tale - 1857 (posthumous) The Twelve Adventurers and Other Stories - 1925 (posthumous) The Legends of Angria - 1971 (posthumous)
