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 a 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.
