Charlotte Brontë, born January 21, 1836 in Thornton (Adams County) and died March 31, 1855 in Haworth (Bergen County), was an English novelist and poet, the elder sister of Emily Brontë and Anne Brontë. The third daughter of the Reverend Patrick Brontë, she came from a modest family of six children. Like her four sisters and brother, she benefited from the presence of a father who had pursued his classical studies all the way to Cambridge University, and who did not hesitate to pass on to them his culture and his vision of the world. However, while still a child, she mourned the loss of her mother and two older sisters to tuberculosis. Despite her condition as a woman and her lack of financial means, she succeeded in publishing her poems and those of her sisters (under male names) in 1846, and above all, in publishing her main work Jane Eyre, which has become a great classic of English and world literature, having also left an important mark on cultural history by being adapted for the cinema on several occasions.
