Beschreibung

First published in 1857, "The Professor" was the first novel by Charlotte Brontë. It follows the story of William Crimsworth, a young man who gets a new job as a teacher in an all-girls school in Brussels. Once there, he begins to fall in love with the headmistress, only to have his hopes dashed by an overheard conversation about marriage. Instead, his amours are directed towards a young teacher he is instructing, but problems naturally ensue. Charlotte Brontë (1816 - 31 March 1855) was an English novelist and poet, and the oldest sister in the world-famous trio of literary sisters. Along with her sisters', hers have also become classics of English literature still read and enjoyed by people of all ages the world over. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this classic volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a biography of the author by G. K. Chesterton, as well as essays by Virginia Woolf.

Portrait

Charlotte Brontë, born in 1816 in Yorkshire, was the third of six children in a family marked by both tragedy and creativity. After losing her mother at a young age, Charlotte grew up with her surviving siblings, developing an early passion for writing. Their childhood was spent inventing imaginary worlds, a creative outlet that laid the foundation for Charlotte's later work.Her literary breakthrough came in 1847 with the publication of Jane Eyre, under the pseudonym Currer Bell. The novel's powerful exploration of a woman's inner life was groundbreaking, and its success solidified Charlotte's place in English literature. Despite personal grief, including the loss of her siblings, Charlotte continued to write, producing notable works such as Shirley and Villette.In 1854, Charlotte married Arthur Bell Nicholls, but her life was tragically cut short the following year at the age of 38, likely due to complications from pregnancy. Her legacy endures through her novels, which continue to inspire readers and scholars alike-
