Abstract: The publication of letters of Charlotte Brontё to Constantine Heger whose schoolgirl she was during training in Brussels from 1842 to 1844. Contains the first translation into Russian of four remained letters accompanied with the preface and comments. The biographic context of correspondence is presented in the preface, the circumstances which have ensured safety of separate letters of Charlotte Bronte reveal. The preface besides biographic material concerns a problem of lack of the story about the Bruxelles love of Charlotte Bronte in her first biography belonging to a feather E. Gaskell. The solution to problem that in the description of life and character Sh. Bronte E. Gaskell followed requirements of the Victorian culture. From her point of view, withdrawal of a love episode from the biography of the famous novelist had to support a plan of her idealized image. Bronte's letters, on the contrary, confirm the conflict with ideas of an era about situation and the rights of the woman. Hermeneutical potential of inclusion of letters of Sh. Bronte to Constantine Heger in a context of studying of her creativity is realized. The epistolary heritage of the writer (and in particular, her love letters) allows to allocate the most important subject of her novels. It is a subject of relationship of personal idea of women's self-realization and the external debt dictated by culture. Bronte's works read from this point of view are filled with new meanings, hardly noticeable for the researcher outside support Sh. Bronte's epistolary.
