The Professor

Who doesn't enjoy a novel full of jealousy, love and, of course, lots of conflict! 'The Professor' by Charlotte Brontë has all this and more.

'The Professor' is Charlotte Brontë’s first novel, which was rejected several times, and eventually published after her death. Greatly autobiographical, it follows the life of young teacher, William Crimsworth, and his personal and professional life, romantic relationships, and teaching career at a school for girls.

The young man’s life is riddled with adventures and misfortunes, mirroring Charlotte’s own troubles while studying and later teaching in Brussels. Religion, social class differences, independence and love merge into a compelling tale that fans of Victorian literature will definitely enjoy.

If you are a Jane Austen fan or enjoy reading (or watching) 'Wuthering Heights' by Emily Brontë, then this is the book for you.

Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855) was the eldest of the Brontë sisters, born in a family of six children. Her childhood years were marked by painful moments in school, and in no time the sisters were sent to be educated at home. Her vivid imagination and spare time unleashed her creative potential, and she soon earned her place in the hall of fame of English literature.

She wrote some poetry and four novels, among the most popular being 'The Professor' and 'Shirley'. Her masterpiece 'Jane Eyre' has been made into many film adaptations.
