The Life of Charlotte Bronte
- The Life of Charlotte Bronte
"The Life of Charlotte Bronte" is the posthumous biography of Charlotte Brontë by fellow novelist Elizabeth Gaskell. However, though quite frank in places, Gaskell suppressed details of Charlotte's love for Constantin Heger (1809–1896), a married man, as being too much of an affront to contemporary morals and as a possible source of distress to Charlotte's still-living friends, father and husband [Margaret Lane (1953) The Bronte Story: a reconsideration of Mrs Gaskell's Life of Charlotte Bronte. 178-183] .
The first edition was published in 1857 by Smith, Elder & Co. A major source for the biography were the hundreds of letters sent by Bronte to her lifelong friend Ellen Nussey.
