20.THE BRONTE FAMILYYorkshire,England was the setting for two great novels of the 19th century.One of them is Jane Eyre written by Charlotte Bronte.
The Bronte family had three girls and a boy.Charlotte was born in 1816,Emily was born in 1818and Anne in 1820.Their brother Branwell was born in 1817.The ehildren wrote and told stories and walked over the hills.They grew up largely self-educated.Branwell showed a great interest in drawing.The girls took positions as teachers or taught ehildren in their homes.The girls were determined to earn money for Branwell's sart education.
As children,the girls had all written many stories.Charlotte alone wrote 22books,each with 60to 100pages of small handwriting.Therefore,they turned to writing for income.By 1847,Charlotte had written The Professor; Emily,Wuthering Heights; and Anne,Agnes Grey.After much difficulty,Anne and Emily found a publisher (出版商),but there was no interest shown in Charlotte's book.( It was not published until 1859.) However,one publisher expressed an interest in seeing more of her work.Jane Eyre was already started,and she hurriedly finished it.It was accepted at once; thus each of the sisters had a book published in 1847.
Jane Eyre was immediately successful; the other two,however,did not do so well.Emily lived only a short while after the publication of her book,and Anne died in 1849.
Charlotte published Shirley in 1849,and Villette in 1853.In 1854she married Arthur Bell Nicholls.But only a year later,she died of tuberculosis (肺结核) as her sisters had.
