A poet, Charlotte Bronte (pen name Currer Bell),
was eldest of three sisters; novels she wrote as well.
A  Gothic style in first person narration she wrote with flair,
giving us novels ahead of their time, like the popular Jane Eyre.

No wait...Ink is talking about the pen name and I am talking about the name of the pen.

Andrea, this is a sweet tribute. I'm thinking that she wrote with flair could refer to the trademark pen she used (lol), but my mind does weird things. The fact that she was a poet and novelist. is an accomplishment that you put together with sheet kindness of description.
