Charlotte Brontë (April 21, 1816 - March 31, 1855) was a British author.
Charlotte BrontëBrontë was born at Thornton, in Yorkshire, England, the eldest surviving daughter of a clergyman, Patrick Brontë (who had changed his surname from Brunty or Prunty). In 1820, the family moved to the now world-famous rectory at Haworth, where the children created their own fantasy world which would inspire them to take up writing. Charlotte's mother died when she was five, and she was sent, with three of her four sisters, to a boarding school where the appalling conditions had a long-term effect on their health. Two of her sisters, Maria and Louisa, died.
In 1835, Charlotte returned to her former school to work as a teacher, a career in which she continued, on and off, for several years. In 1846, she and her two younger sisters, Anne and Emily published a joint collection of poetry, under male pseudonyms, Charlotte going by the name of Currer Bell.
Her novels are:
Branwell, the only son of the family, Emily and Anne all died within a few months of one another, of tuberculosis ("consumption") - exacerbated, in Branwell's case, by heavy drinking and a debauched lifestyle. Charlotte and her father were now left alone. In view of the enormous success of Jane Eyre, Charlotte was persuaded by her publisher to come to London, where she revealed her true identity and began to move in a more exalted social circle.
- Jane Eyre, published 1847
- Shirley, published 1849
- Villette, published 1853
- The Professor, published 1857
In 1854, Charlotte married Arthur Bell Nicholls, a curate. She died during her pregnancy and was interred in The Church of St. Michael and All Angels, Haworth, West Yorkshire, England.

Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (May 19, 1744 - November 17, 1818) was the queen consort of King George III of the United Kingdom.She was born Sophia Charlotte, at Mirow in her father's duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Germany. Having been selected as the bride of the young king George (who had already flirted with several young women considered unsuitable by his mother, Augusta of Saxe-Gotha, and by his political advisors), she arrived in Britain in 1761 and the couple were married at the Chapel Royal in St James's Palace, London, on September 8 of that year.
Despite not having been his first choice, and having been treated with a general lack of sympathy by his mother, Charlotte's relationship with her husband soon blossomed, and he is not known ever to have been unfaithful to her. In the course of their marriage, they had sixteen children, most of whom survived into adulthood. Charlotte was supportive to her husband as he descended into mental illness, but pre-deceased him, dying at Kew Palace, their family home in Surrey. She was buried at Windsor.
The cities of Charlottetown, the capital of Prince Edward Island, Canada, and Charlotte, North Carolina were named for her.
According to information published on www.pbs.org, the official website of the Public Broadcasting System, Queen Charlotte was part black, six times a descendant of Margarita de Castro y Sousa, a black, Moorish, or mixed-race member of the Portuguese royal family who lived in the 15th century. Citing research conducted by Charlotte biographer Olwen Hedley as well as the history department of Canada's McGill University, black-diaspora historian Mario de Valdes y Cocom writes on the PBS website that Queen Charlotte's personal physician, Christian Friedrich, Baron von Stockmar, described his patient as having "true mulatto features" ("ein wahres Mulattengesicht").

Charlotte, Princess Royal of Great Britain and Ireland and later Queen of Württemberg (29 September 1766-5 October 1828) was the eldest daughter and fourth child of King George III of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and Queen Charlotte and the wife of Duke Friedrich II (later King Friedrich I) of Württemberg (6 November1754-30 October 1816). She was the third holder of the title Princess Royal.Her Royal Highness The Princess Charlotte Augusta Matilda was born at Buckingham Palace. She was styled Princess Royal from October 1766 and officially designated as such on 22 June 1789. Like her siblings, the Princess Royal was educated by tutors and spent most her childhood at Buckingham Palace, Kew Palace, and Windsor Castle.
On 18 May 1797, the Princess Royal was married at the Chapel Royal, St. James's Palace, London to His Highness the Hereditary Prince Friedrich of Württemberg, the eldest son and heir apparent of Duke Friedrich II Eugene of Württemberg and his wife, Princess Frederica of Brandenburg-Schwedt. The younger Friedrich succeeded his father as the reigning Duke of Württemberg on 22 December 1797. Duke Friedrich II had two sons and two daughters by his first marriage to the late Princess Augusta (3 December 1764-27 September 1788, the daughter of Duke Karl II of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel and Princess Augusta of Great Britain and Ireland (the only sister of King George II) and the younger sister of Caroline of Brunswick, the estranged wife of the future King George IV (then the Prince of Wales). The marriage between Duke Friedrich and the Princess Royal produced one child: a stillborn daughter on 27 April 1798.
In 1800, the French army occupied Württemberg and the Duke and Duchess fled to Vienna. The following year, Duke Friedrich concluded a private treaty ceding Montbeliard to France and receiving Ellwanger in exchange two years later. He assumed the title Elector of Württemberg on 25 February 1803. In exchange for providing France with a large auxiliary force, Napoleon recognized the Elector as King of Württemberg on 26 December 1805. Electress Charlotte became Queen when her husband formally ascended the throne on 1 January and was crowned as such on the same day at Stuttgart, Germany. Württemberg seceded from the Holy Roman Empire and joined Napleon's short-lived Confederation of the Rhine. However, the new elevated king's alliance with France technically made him the enemy of his father-in-law, George III. Queen Charlotte, incensed by her son-in-law's assumption of the title and his role of one of Napoleon's most devoted vassals, refused to address her daughter as "Queen of Württemberg" in correspondence. In 1813, King Friedrich changed sides and went over the Allies, where his status as the brother-in-law of the Prince Regent (later George IV) helped his standing. After the fall of Napoleon, he attended the Congress of Vienna and was confirmed as King. He died in October 1816.
The Dowager Queen of Württemberg continued to live at the Ludwigsburg Palace, Stuttgart and received visits from her younger siblings, the Duke of Kent, the Duke of Sussex, the Duke of Cambridge, the Landgravine of Hesse-Homburg (nee Princess Elizabeth of Great Britain), and Princess Augusta of Great Britain. She was a godmother (by proxy) at the christening of her niece, Princess Victoria of Kent (the future Queen Victoria), in 1819. In 1827, she returned to Britain for the first time since her wedding in 1797 in order to have surgery for dropsy. She died at Ludwigsburg Palace the following year and is buried there in the royal vault.

| Author | Quotation |
Charlotte Bronte | Look twice before you leap. |
| Consistency, madam, is the first of Christian duties. | |
| You -- poor and obscure, and small and plain as you are -- I entreat to accept me as a husband. | |
| If we would build on a sure foundation in friendship, we must love friends for their sake rather than for our own. | |
| Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last. | |
| Feeling without judgment is a washy draught indeed; but judgment untempered by feeling is too bitter and husky a morsel for human deglutition. | |
Charlotte Bronté | Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrong. |
Charlotte Saunders Cushman | No artist work is so high, so noble, so grand, so enduring, so important for all time, as the making of character is a child. |

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | SMITHAREEN, n. A fragment, a decomponent part, a remain. The word is used variously, but in the following verse on a noted female reformer who opposed bicycle-riding by women because it "led them to the devil" it is seen at its best: The wheels go round without a sound -- The maidens hold high revel; In sinful mood, insanely gay, True spinsters spin adown the way From duty to the devil! They laugh, they sing, and -- ting-a-ling! Their bells go all the morning; Their lanterns bright bestar the night Pedestrians a-warning. With lifted hands Miss Charlotte stands, Good-Lording and O-mying, Her rheumatism forgotten quite, Her fat with anger frying. She blocks the path that leads to wrath, Jack Satan's power defying. The wheels go round without a sound The lights burn red and blue and green. What's this that's found upon the ground? Poor Charlotte Smith's a smithareen! John William Yope |
