How Charlotte Brontë Wrote Her Masterpiece

Why did Charlotte Brontë go to such great lengths on the publication of her acclaimed, best-selling novel to conceal its authorship from her family, close friends, and the press?
Georgetown University Professor of English John C. Pfordresher, author of "The Secret History of Jane Eyre," explores these questions through an investigation into the relationship between the novel's heroine and its author, a link Brontë denied but which in complex ways emerges in virtually every aspect of the book.
