Today is Charlotte Brontë’s birthday.
Do you love her poetry, or know her only through Jane Eyre?

One of the most famous authentic portraits of Charlotte was drawn by George Richmond in 1850 👇

Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
Note: There are some spoilers below for a book that is almost 200 years old. This is a book I read to fill gaps in my having read The Great Books. It is pitched as "the greatest romance." In my understanding of the Romance genre, that is not a true statement.
