The Professor

ISBN: 0140621423
Author: Charlotte Bronte
Description:
Complete and unabridged. Charlottes Bronte's first novel is narrated from the viewpoint of an ambitious and self-made man. Rejecting his aristocratic inheritance William Crimsworth goes to Brussels to find his fortune. He takes a job teaching at a boarding school for young ladies, where he begins a flirtation with Zoralde Reuter, who, out of jeolousy, attempts to frustrate his courtship of Frances Henri, an attractive young woman determined to make her way in the world. In this book Charlotte Bronte holds up to scrutiny the Victorian ideals of self-help and individualism. The result is an unusual love story, and a novel profoundly critical of a society in which the relationships between men and women are reduced to power struggles.
