She wrote Jane Eyre under the pen name Currer Bell. Born in Thornton, Yorkshire in 1816, the third of six children, to Maria née Branwell and her husband Patrick Brontë (formerly "Patrick Brunty"), an Irish Anglican clergyman. Jane Eyre is a classic romance novel originally published in 1847.

Her experiences through a harsh boarding school and subsequently as a governess at Thornfield Hall are artfully and absorbingly told.

JANE EYRE

By Charlotte Bronte Jane Eyre is a first-person narrative of the title character. The novel goes through five distinct stages: Jane's childhood at Gateshead, where she is emotionally and physically abused by her aunt and cousins; her education at Lowood School, where she acquires friends and role models but also suffers privations; her time as the governess of Thornfield Hall, where she falls in love with her Byronic employer, Edward Rochester; her time with the Rivers family at Marsh's End (or Moor House) and Morton, where her cold clergyman-cousin St John Rivers proposes to her; and her reunion with and marriage to her beloved Rochester. Partly autobiographical, the novel abounds with social criticism. It is a novel considered ahead of its time. In spite of the dark, brooding elements, it has a strong sense of right and wrong, of morality at its core.
