Have you read it?" exclaimed George Eliot when Charlotte Brontes final novel appeared in 1853. "It is a still more wonderful book than Jane Eyre. There is something almost preternatural in its power."Arguably Charlotte Brontes most refined and deeply felt work-Virginia Woolf called it Brontes "finest novel"-Villettedraws on its authors own experiences as a governess, and her profound loneliness following the deaths of her three siblings.

In 1847, the sisters published their first novels, Jane Eyre (Charlotte), Wuthering Heights (Emily), and Agnes Grey (Anne), under male pseudonyms to commercial and critical success.
