“The trouble is not that I am single and likely to stay
single, but that I am lonely and likely to stay lonely.”
Writer Charlotte Brontë was born on April 21, 1816, in
Thornton, Yorkshire, England. Said to be the most dominant and ambitious of the
Brontës, Charlotte was raised in a strict Anglican home by her clergyman father
and a religious aunt after her mother and two eldest siblings died. She and her
sister Emily attended the Clergy Daughter's School at Cowan Bridge, but were
largely educated at home. Though she tried to earn a living as both a governess
and a teacher, Brontë missed her sisters and eventually returned home..
