AB Jane Eyre is considered a classic of 19th century English literature. This novel extoled Charlotte Brontë as one of the best writers of the Victorian period. Although Jane Eyre was presented as an autobiography, it is not a proper autobiography. However, this term has been essential to establish theories about the biographical content of Brontë on her novel. More recent genres such as autofiction have helped to identify the process by which real aspects are represented by fictional facts. This essay collects the most relevant anecdotes of the life of Brontë, as well as the controversial reactions to her novel, such as the vindication by William Shepheard. The aim of this essay is to establish the connection between real events of the life of Brontë and the fictional elements in her novel. The analysis focuses on the first ten chapters of her work, which correspond to the childhood of the protagonist, and where there are many similarities with the life of Brontë.
