| 作者简介： CHARLOTTE BRONTE (I816--55). The most admired of the Bronte sisters in her own lifetime, she was also the most prolific. Her four published novels, which are in part autobiographical, are still widely read today. Born in Thornton, Yorkshire, in I816, Charlotte Bronte was the third daughter of Patrick Bronte, a clergyman of Irish descent, and Maria Branwell of Penzance, Cornwall. They moved to Haworth in 182o when Patrick Bronte was made perpetual curate. After the death of Charlotte's mother in 1821, her mother's sister, Elizabeth, came to look after the family, and the children, five daughters and one son, were left with a solitary father, a disciplinarian aunt and only each other for company. Taking as their starting point Branwell's twelve soldiers and a great deal of reading, they created the fantasy worlds of Angria and Gondal, writing annals and newspapers for these imaginary places. In 1824, the four eldest girls were sent to Cowan Bridge School, which Charlotte recreated as Lowood in Jane Eyre. Its poor conditions hastened the deaths of Maria and Elizabeth (who died from tuberculosis in the same year) and damaged Charlotte's health permanently. The time Charlotte spent at her second school, Roehead, between Leeds and Huddersfield, was far happier. Here she made one or two lifelong friends, who appear in various guises in her novels. She later returned as a teacher but gave up the post to set up her own school at Haworth with Emily. To acquire further qualifications the two sisters visited the Pensionnat Heger in Brussels, where Charlotte fell hopelessly in love with M. Heger, later satirized in Villette. Her first *novel, The Professor, was rejected, but she went on to write Jane Eyre, which is her true claim to greatness. Charlotte refused three offers of marriage but in 1854 she consented to marry her father's curate, A. B. Nicholls. The marriage, however, was short-lived for the following year Charlotte died from an illness associated with pregnancy. |
