@hunkalove Nope. As a person she lived a humble life and selflessly gave her time to family members. As a writer she published under a pen name. She was moderately successful, but remained anonymous. Her name didn't go on her books until after her death (untimely at age 41), and it took a few decades for the books to become popular and widely read.

@ElwoodBlues I managed to get through college with a B.A. in English without ever reading her or the Brontes. Still haven't.

@hunkalove The Brontes that I read didn't appeal to me; too earnest, kinda religious. I (physics major) didn't read Jane for class, I read her for amusement, and she's quite amusing!
