Description

The first novel written by the author of "Jane Eyre," "The Professor" is a story about the life of the resilient William Crimsworth.

An English orphan raised by coldly aristocratic uncles, he rejects a life as a clergyman to work in his brother's mill in Yorkshire.

Treated abominably in his tedious clerkship, Crimsworth escapes to Belgium and begins teaching in a boys' school.

There he eventually meets the headmistress of a neighboring girls' school, Zoraide Reuter, as well as one of the teachers in the girls' school, Francis Henri.

Narrated from a convincing male perspective, Bronte exercised her skill as a writer in telling a tale based on her own experiences as a student in Brussels, challenging many of the assumptions of Victorian society in the process.

Crimsworth matures, finds a fulfilling profession, and discovers love in this significant commencement to Charlotte Bronte's literary career.
