内容概要

夏洛蒂·勃朗特1816年生于英国北部约克郡的豪渥斯的一个乡村牧师家庭。母亲早逝，八岁的夏洛蒂被送进一所专收神职人员孤女的慈善性机构——柯文桥女子寄宿学校。在那里，她的两个姐姐玛丽亚和伊丽莎白因染上肺病而先后死去。于是夏洛蒂和妹妹艾米利回到家乡，15岁时她进了伍勒小姐办的学校读书，几年后又在这个学校当教师。后来她曾作家庭教师，最终她投身于文学创作的道路。夏洛蒂?勃朗特有两个姐姐、两个妹妹和一个弟弟。两个妹妹，即艾米莉?勃朗特和?恩?勃朗特，也是著名作家，因而在英国文学史上常有“勃朗特三姐妹”之称。
夏洛蒂?勃朗特是三姐妹中年龄最大的。基于父母遗传的天分和他们后天的努力，三姐妹都擅长写作，1847年，他们都发表了小说，夏洛蒂用柯勒贝尔的笔名发表了《简·爱》。夏洛蒂的作品主要描写贫苦的小资产者的孤独、反抗和奋斗，属于被马克思称为以狄更斯为首的“出色的一派”。《简·爱》是她的处女作，也是代表作，至今仍受到广大读者的欢迎。实际上，勃朗特三姐妹自幼便热爱写作，常常一起在本上写一些关于伯爵的小说，可惜日后都丢失了。夏洛蒂还出版过诗集。她的其他小说有：《雪莉》（1849）、《维莱特》（1853）和《教师》（1857）。其中《维莱特》可以看做是她个人的小说体自传，与她的人生经历十分相似。这位天生体弱的女作家是十九世纪英国文坛上一颗璀璨的明珠。

章节摘录

　　True, reader; and I knew and felt this: and though I am a defectivebeing, with many faults and few redeeming points, yet I never tired ofHelen Burns; nor ever ceased to cherish for her a sentiment of attachment,as strong, tender, and respectful as any that ever animated my heart. Howcould it be otherwise, when Helen, at all times and under all circumstances,evinced for me a quiet and faithful friendship, which ill-humour neversoured, nor irritation never troubled？ But Helen was ill at present: forsome weeks she had been removed from my sight to I knew not what roomupstairs. She was not, I was told, in the hospital portion of the house withthe fever patients; for her complaint was consumption, not typhus: and byconsumption I, in my ignorance, understood something mild, which timeand care would be sure to alleviate.　　I was confirmed in this idea by the fact of her once or twice comingdownstairs on very warm sunny afternoons, and being taken by MissTemple into the garden; but, on these occasions, I was not allowed to goand speak to her; I only saw her from the schoolroom window, and thennot distinctly; for she was much wrapped up, and sat at a distance underthe verandah.　　One evening, in the beginning of June, I had stayed out very late withMary Ann in the wood; we had, as usual, separated ourselves from theothers, and had wandered far; so far that We lost our way, and had to askit at a lonely cottage, where a man and woman lived, who looked after aherd of half-wild swine that fed on the mast in the wood. When we gotback, it was after moonrise: a pony, which we knew to be the surgeons,was standing at the garden door. Mary Ann remarked that she supposedsomeone must be very ill, as Mr. Bates had been sent forat that time of theevening. She went into the house; I stayed behind a few minutes to plantin my garden a handful of roots I had dug up in the forest, and which Ifeared would wither if I left them till the morning.
