The Professor Summary
|
The Professor -- Adobe PDF ebook. Charlotte Bronte’s classic work. |
|
|
| "This little book was written before either "Jane Eyre" or "Shirley," and yet no indulgence can be solicited for it on the plea of a first attempt. A first attempt it certainly was not, as the pen which wrote it had been previously worn a good deal in a practice of some years. I had not indeed published anything before I commenced "The Professor," but in many a crude effort, destroyed almost as soon as composed, I had got over any such taste as I might once have had for ornamented and redundant composition, and come to prefer what was plain and homely." |
|
|
| This was Charlotte Bront?'s first novel. The Professor is the story of William Crimsworth, he makes many wrong choices in choosing his life career, but finally ends up as a professor teaching English at an all-boys school and teaches part-time in the neighboring girls' school. It's set mainly in Brussels, where William runs into a variety of trouble with the school mistress and some of the female students in the school. Please Note: This book is easy to read in true text, not scanned images that can sometimes be difficult to decipher. The Microsoft eBook has a contents page linked to the chapter headings for easy navigation. The Adobe eBook has bookmarks at chapter headings and is printable up to two full copies per year. Both versions are text searchable. |

The Professor was the first novel that Charlotte Brontë completed. Rejected by the publisher who took on the work of her sisters in 1846 -- Anne's Agnes Grey and Emily's Wuthering Heights -- it remained unpublished until 1857, two years after Charlotte Brontë 's death. Like Villette (1853), The Professor is based on her experiences as a language student in Brussels in 1842. Told from the point of view of William Crimsworth, the only male narrator that she used, the work formulated a new aesthetic that questioned many of the presuppositions of Victorian society. Brontë's hero escapes from a humiliating clerkship in a Yorkshire mill to find work as a teacher in Belgium, where he falls in love with an impoverished student-teacher, who is perhaps the author's most realistic feminist heroine. The Professor endures today as both a harbinger of Brontë's later novels and a compelling read in its own right. "The middle and latter portion of The Professor is as good as I can write," proclaimed Brontë . "It contains more pith, more substance, more reality, in my judgment, than much of Jane Eyre."
