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.

When a family catastrophe strikes, Lucy Snowe leaves England to teach English in a small Belgian town. Immediately after arriving in Villette, Lucy is drawn into the town's charm, adventure, and romance. Bronte's characteristic episodes of social challenges, meticulous creation of intimacy, and realism make 'Villette' a wonderfully passionate and psychological novel. Charlotte Bronte's unromantic view on the world around her, and her outspoken opinions make this novel perfect for fans of Virginia Woolf's 'Miss Dalloway'. -

Timid Caroline Helstone could not be any more opposite to the lively Shirley Keeldar. Nor could their lives be any more dissimilar. Whilst Shirley has just inherited a local estate, Caroline is trapped in a bleak Yorkshire rectory. Using the Luddite uprisings as an oppressive backdrop for her story, Charlotte Bronte explores the consequences of the Napoleonic wars on the English industry. Her second novel offers a nuanced, realistic, and unromantic social commentary on nineteenth-century England. Its strong feminist message is an unmissable introduction to the classics for fans of novels such as Sally Nicholls' 'Things A Bright Girl Can Do'.-
