Charlotte Brontë (; 21 April 1816 – 31 March 1855 ) was an English novelist and poet, the eldest of the three Brontë sisters who survived into adulthood, whose novels are English literature standards.

Charlotte was born in Thornton, Yorkshire in 1816, the third of six children, to Maria ( née Branwell ) and her husband Patrick Brontë ( formerly surnamed Brunty or Prunty ), an Irish Anglican clergyman.

There is evidence to suggest that Charlotte died from typhus which she may have caught from Tabitha Ackroyd, the Brontë household's oldest servant, who died shortly before her.

The fragment of a new novel she had been working on in her last years has been twice completed by recent authors, the more famous version being Emma Brown: A Novel from the Unfinished Manuscript by Charlotte Brontë by Clare Boylan in 2003.

One of the terms of the marriage contract agreed to by Alexei was that while any forthcoming children were to be raised in the Orthodox faith, Charlotte herself was allowed to retain her Protestant faith ( an agreement that did not sit well at all with Alexei's followers ).

Charlotte responded by finishing and sending a second manuscript in August 1847, and six weeks later Jane Eyre: An Autobiography, was published.

In September 1848 Charlotte's brother, Branwell, died of chronic bronchitis and marasmus exacerbated by heavy drinking, although Charlotte believed his death was due to tuberculosis.

In view of the success of her novels, particularly Jane Eyre, Charlotte was persuaded by her publisher to visit London occasionally, where she revealed her true identity and began to move in a more exalted social circle, becoming friends with Harriet Martineau and Elizabeth Gaskell, and acquainted with William Makepeace Thackeray and G. H. Lewes.

Thackeray ’ s daughter, the writer Anne Isabella Thackeray Ritchie recalled a visit to her father by Charlotte:

Charlotte meanwhile was increasingly attracted to the intense attachment displayed by Nicholls, and by January 1854 had accepted his proposal.

Charlotte became pregnant soon after the marriage but her health declined rapidly and according to Gaskell, she was attacked by " sensations of perpetual nausea and ever-recurring faintness.
