Elizabeth Gaskell's biography of her close friend Charlotte Brontë was published in 1857 to immediate popular acclaim, and remains the most significant study of the enigmatic author who gave Jane Eyre the subtitle An Autobiography. It recounts Charlotte Brontë's life from her isolated childhood, through her years as a writer who had 'foreseen the single life' for herself, to her marriage at thirty-eight and death less than a year later. The resulting work - the first full-length biography of a woman novelist by a woman novelist - explored the nature of Charlotte's genius and almost single-handedly created the Brontë myth.

Patricia Ingham is Senior Research Fellow and Reader at St Anne s College, Oxford. She has written on the Victorian novel and on Hardy in particular. she is the General Editor of all Hardy s fiction in the Penguin Classics and has edited Gaskell s North and South for the series.
