Lines by Charlotte Brontë

Charlotte Brontë

English novelist and poet · 1816–1855

Charlotte Brontë grew up in a Yorkshire parsonage and published under the name Currer Bell. Jane Eyre, her first published novel, gave its heroine an inner voice that readers had rarely heard in fiction.

I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent will.

Jane Eyre, Chapter 23
