“I would always rather be happy than dignified.”

― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

 

Charlotte Brontë is perhaps one of the most well-known English novelists of the 19th-century, let alone being the most-popular female author of English literature. Her works, such as ‘Jane Eyre’, propelled her fame and made a lasting impact on English literature. However, in 1857, fellow female English author Elizabeth Gaskell contributed to Brontë’s success with her biography of Brontë. It is curious that much of the contents of this book came from Charlotte herself and her many letters and written correspondences.

 

A beautiful, two-volume First American edition was published in 1857.
