Charlotte Brontë
Charlotte Brontë (1816–1855) est une romancière anglaise majeure du XIXe siècle, célèbre pour son œuvre *Jane Eyre*, publié en 1847 sous le pseudonyme masculin de **Currer Bell**. Issue d’une famille d’écrivains, elle puise dans sa propre expérience d’institutrice et dans les épreuves de sa vie pour créer des personnages profonds et des intrigues audacieuses. *Jane Eyre*, son roman le plus connu, est salué pour son réalisme, son féminisme avant-gardiste et sa critique sociale. Son style, à la fois poétique et engagé, a marqué la littérature mondiale et inspiré des générations d’auteurs.
