लेखक के बारे में
Charlotte Brontë (1816–1855) was an English novelist and poet, renowned for her contribution to English literature during the Victorian era. As the eldest of the surviving Brontë siblings, her work is characterized by a profound understanding of emotional and psychological depth, grounded in her own experiences. Charlotte’s most celebrated novel, ‘Jane Eyre’ (1847), is hailed for its innovative first-person narrative and its exploration of themes such as morality, religion, and feminism that were far ahead of its time.
However, one of her most distinguished yet underrated novels, ‘Villette’ (1853), encapsulates Brontë’s literary prowess through the evocative portrayal of the protagonist’s internal struggles and the intricate examination of identity and isolation in a foreign land. Brontë’s narrative style in ‘Villette’ exhibits a sophisticated use of stream of consciousness and an unreliable narrator, which were literary techniques not widely recognized until the 20th century. Charlotte Brontë’s works have become classics of English literature, and her novels continue to be studied for their social relevance and innovative storytelling that emphasized the inner lives of complex characters (Brontë, 1853).
