Charlotte Brontë was an English novelist and poet, best known for her classic novel "Jane Eyre," published in 1847. Born in 1816 in Yorkshire, she was the eldest of the three famous Brontë sisters, all of whom became renowned authors. Her writing often dealt with themes of individualism, morality, and women's struggles in Victorian society. In addition to "Jane Eyre," she also wrote notable works like "Shirley" and "Villette."

CHAPTER I There was no possibility of taking a walk that day. We had been wandering, indeed, in the leafless shrubbery an hour in the morning; but since dinner (Mrs. Reed, when there was no company, dined early) the cold winter wind had brought with it clouds so sombre, and a rain so penetrating, that further out-door exercise was now out of the question. I was glad of it: I never liked long walks,...
