Charlotte Bronte (1816-1855) was an English author who wrote the famous classics Jane Eyre, Shirley, Villette and The Professor. She was raised with her two sisters Anne (author of Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall) and Emily (author of Wuthering Heights) Bronte and was mostly educated at home studying art and music. Although she was sent to school Charlotte and her sisters had a passion for reading and writing and their father had an extensive collection of English literature at home.
"Shirley is an 1849 social novel by the English novelist Charlotte Brontë. It was Brontë's second published novel after Jane Eyre (originally published under Brontë's pseudonym Currer Bell). The novel is set in Yorkshire in the period 1811-12, during the industrial depression resulting from the Napoleonic Wars and the War of 1812. The novel is set against a backdrop of the Luddite uprisings in the Yorkshire textile industry." (Citation from Wikipedia: The free Encyclopaedia).
