Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855) was an English novelist and poet, best known for Jane Eyre, a work that has remained central to the canon of nineteenth-century literature. Writing under the pseudonym Currer Bell upon its initial publication, Brontë brought a distinctive psychological depth and moral seriousness to the Victorian novel. Her work, alongside that of her sisters Emily and Anne Brontë, continues to be widely read and studied for its exploration of identity, social constraint, and emotional endurance.
