Charlotte Bronte

1816 to 1855

English novelist whose work channels fierce inwardness into morally alert, emotionally persuasive fiction.

Bronte helped establish the intensity and authority of the first-person heroine in English fiction.

Why this author stays central

Jane Eyre remains the obvious doorway because it balances readability and force so well.
