Charlotte Bronte's life is the legacy of Charlotte Bronte, written by novelist Elizabeth Gaskell. The first edition was published by Smith, Elder & Co in 1857. One major source was hundreds of letters sent by Brontë to her lifelong friends Ellen Nussey.

Charlotte Bronte who died in 1855 among many friends who were fascinated by Mrs. Gaskell advised her to write to her the biography of Charlotte's father, Patrick Bronte. Charlotte Bronte's Life (1857) was written with enthusiasm and dealt with a lot of direct information using techniques that are not essential. It is also a work of art and an explanation of the complete record of that subject. In the later work, Sylvia's lover (1863) focused on the influence that the Napoleonic war had on simple people. Her last longest job, wife and daughter (1864-66), included a linked wealth of two or three rural families. And it was considered to be her best by many people. It is not completed when she died
Gaskel's "Charlotte Bronte of Life" is still a wonderful publication. At that time, focusing on her private life, not her achievement, was unique. It is unusual to be a woman's biography written about women. In her book, Gaskel actively solved the reputation of Bronte's men and goddesses. Gaskell carefully chose anecdotes and letters to turn Bronte into positive beauty - a model of morality, responsibility and sacrifice. By reviewing the less preferred aspect of her life (eg love for a married teacher), Gaskell depicts Bronte as female obligation - faithful wife, daughter, and sister fulfillment. Certainly, the woman who died during pregnancy - the ultimate sacrifice of the woman at the time
Gaskel's efforts were a huge success. Charlotte Bront's life was sold soon and received warm comments. "Saturday Commentary" writes like this. "I am seeing a woman, not a female writer ... And as a woman, Charlotte Bronte is very good in all respects.Is arguing that she is the most selfless.To completely abandon women's lives Completeness and responsibility for the first female sociologist Harriet · Martinoau compared this work with the biographies of Plutak and medieval biographies and Bronte "won more than many St. Catherine and St Bridget" I insisted. title"
