The Professor de Charlotte Bronte

The Professor

Autor Charlotte Bronte
en Limba Engleză Paperback

"This edition contains the original and unabridged text of The Professor."

The Professor was the first novel by Charlotte Bronte. It was originally written before Jane Eyre and rejected by many publishing houses, but was eventually published posthumously in 1857 by approval of Arthur Bell Nicholls, who accepted the task of reviewing and editing of the novel.

William Crimsworth refuses his uncle's proposals to become a clergyman. Instead he becomes a clerk for his wealthy brother, tensions and jealousies end that career and he takes a new job at an all-boys boarding school in Belgium.

William is captivated by Mlle. Reuter, the headmistress of the neighbouring all-girls school. And so starts his travails of love."

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
William ventures to Brussels in the hope of becoming a teacher. But he quickly finds that the culture of Catholic Belgians is strikingly different to that of the Victorian English.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

The Professor was the first novel that Charlotte Bronte completed. Rejected by the publisher who took on the work of her sisters in 1846 - Anne's Agnes Grey and Emily's Wuthering Heights - it remained unpublished until 1857, two years after Charlotte Bronte's death. Like Villette (1853), The Professor is based on her experiences as a language student in Brussels in 1842. Told from the point of view of William Crimsworth, the only male narrator that she used, the work formulated a new aesthetic that questioned many of the presuppositions of Victorian society. Bronte's hero escapes from a humiliating clerkship in a Yorkshire mill to find work as a teacher in Belgium, where he falls in love with an impoverished student-teacher, who is perhaps the author's most realistic feminist heroine. The Professor endures today as both a harbinger of Bronte's later novels and a compelling read in its own right.
