The Life of Charlotte Bronte Summary
| The Leeds and Skipton railway runs along a deep valley of the Aire; a slow and sluggish stream, compared to the neighbouring river of Wharfe. Keighley station is on this line of railway, about a quarter of a mile from the town of the same name. The number of inhabitants and the importance of Keighley have been very greatly increased during the last twenty years, owing to the rapidly extended market for worsted manufactures, a branch of industry that mainly employs the factory population of this part of Yorkshire, which has Bradford for its centre and metropolis. |

| Elizabeth Gaskell?s biography of her close friend Charlotte Bront? was published in 1857 to immediate popular acclaim, and remains the most significant study of the enigmatic author who gave Jane Eyre the subtitle An Autobiography. It recounts Charlotte Bront??s life from her isolated childhood, through her years as a writer who had ?foreseen the single life? for herself, to her marriage at thirty-eight and death less than a year later. The resulting work ? the first full-length biography of a woman novelist by a woman novelist ? explored the nature of Charlotte?s genius and almost single-handedly created the Bront? myth. |
