Read the biography of Charlotte Brontë and decide if the statements are True, False, or Not stated.
Charlotte Brontë was a great writer of the early 19th century. She was born in 1816. Her parents were Reverend Patrick Brontë and Maria. They had six children. In 1820, the Brontë family moved to Haworth. Mrs Brontë died the following year.
In 1824, the four eldest Brontë daughters were enrolled as pupils at the Clergy Daughters' School at Cowan Bridge, where two girls, Maria and Elizabeth, died of tuberculosis. In 1831–32, Charlotte Brontë went to Margaret Wooler's school near Dewsbury. Meanwhile, Charlotte loved writing and painting.
In 1835, Charlotte Brontë went to work at Wooler's school as a teacher. She worked there until 1838. Then, from 1839 to 1841, Charlotte worked as a governess. In 1841, she returned home where she and her two sisters decided to open their own school. However, in 1842, her aunt provided the money for her and her sister Emily to study in Brussels. Charlotte Brontë returned to Yorkshire in 1844. Upon her return home, the sisters embarked upon their project for founding a school, which proved to be a failure: their advertisements did not elicit a single response from the public. The following year Charlotte discovered Emily's poems, and decided to publish a selection of the poems of all three sisters. They published their poems under the pseudonyms of Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell.
One of Charlotte Brontë's most famous works is the story "Jane Eyre" which was published in 1847. Charlotte's second work "Shirley" was published in 1848. The third book by Charlotte Brontë was "Villette", published in 1853. Her sister Emily published "Wuthering Heights", and Ann published "Agnes Grey".
In 1854, Charlotte Brontë married a man named Arthur Bell Nicholls. Then Charlotte, expecting a child, caught pneumonia, and after a lengthy and painful illness, she died. She was only 38.
Brontë is an important figure in the history of nineteenth-century poetry because her career illustrates the shift in literary tastes from poetry to prose and because she sometimes used the poetic modes that became characteristic of the Victorian age quite skillfully.
