Description

The Professor, A Tale was the first novel by Charlotte Bronte.

It was written before Jane Eyre, but was rejected by many publishing houses.

It was eventually published, posthumously, in 1857, with the approval of Charlotte Bronte's widower, Arthur Bell Nicholls, who took on the task of reviewing and editing the text.

The novel is based on Charlotte Bronte's experiences in Brussels, where she studied as a language student and was a teacher in 1842.

Much of the subject matter of The Professor was later reworked, from the perspective of a female teacher, into Bronte's later novel Villette.

The novel is the story of a young man, William Crimsworth, and is a first-person narrative from his perspective.

It describes his maturation, his career as a teacher in Brussels, and his personal relationships.
