IntroductionLI A brief introduction of the authorVery few Critics of Charlotte^ works will be authoritative if they just choose to ignore the author^ growing background and personal experience and focus only on the novels themselves. As for seemingly semi-biographic novel Jane Eyre that the author has attached much of her own self to the main protagonist, a brief review of the authors personal experience is very necessary. It will enable us to know the fact that not only Charlottes own time contributed to the portrayal of the main women images, but also her own experience was indispensable to the development of the plot and the passions of Jane Eyre. So a summarized account of some of the most important anecdotes is necessary.Charlotte Bronte (1818 - 1855) was the third daughter of a poor country clergyman at Haworth, Yorkshire, in northern England. It was a family of six small children that Mr. Bronte moved to take up his position as perpetual curate there in February 1820- At her age of & Charlotte and her four sisters were sent to a charity school where they were cruelly treated, and two of her elder sisters died there by having lung disease. At the age of 19, she worked as a school-teacher to afford on education for her brother and sisters, and later as a governess. In 1846 appeared a volume of verse entitled “Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell", the pseudonyms of Charlotte and her little sisters Emily and Anne. In the same year her first work of fiction, The Professor was sent to different publishers and was rejected by them all, and it was not published till after her death. She went on writing another novel, Jane Eyre, which was published in 1847 and achieved an immediate success. In the next year, The Wuthering Heights and Agnes Grey by her sister Emily and Anne respectively were also published. But sorrow came to her when in that year, her only brother and her sister Emily died, and Anne died in the following year. Charlotte wrote two more novels after that, Shirley in 1849 and Villette in 1853, still under the pseudonym of Currer Bell. In 1854 she married her fathers curate A.B. Nicholas, and she died the next year. Another novel, Emma, appeared as a fragment after her death, in 1860(Chen, 2006:258).1.2 The background information of Victorian feminine writerIn Charlotte Brontes time, the middle-class ideology of the proper sphere of womanhood, which developed in post-industrial England and America, prescribed a woman who would be a perfect lady, an angel in the house, contentedly submissive to men, but strong in her inner purity and religiosity, queen in her own realm of the home.Women beginning their literary careers in the 1840s were seeking heroine 一 both professional role model and fictional ideal 一 who could combine strength and intelligence with feminine tenderness, tact, and domestic expertise. At the same time, they perceived themselves and their fictional heroines as innovators who would provide role models for future generations. The feminine writers were thus looking for two kinds of heroines. They wanted inspiring professional role-models; but they also want romantic heroines, a sisterhood of shared passion and suffering, women who sobbed and struggled and rebelled. It was very difficult for the Victorians to believe that both qualities could be embodied in the same woman. The simplest resolution would have been to find the role model in life, the heroine in literature, but it did not work that easily.As the first generation of English Victorian feminine writers, in order to meet the standards of the societ。
