The Professor
The Professor
When the orphaned William refuses his uncles´ proposal to become a clergyman and angrily leaves his job in the counting-house of his brother´s mill, he decides to accept a position as an English teacher at a boys´ school in Brussels. When his career leads him to take up an additional post at a girls´ school nearby, William becomes emotionally involved with the manipulative headmistress of the establishment, Mademoiselle Reuter. The tensions rise until one of his pupils and fellow teachers - for whom he has tender feelings - is suddenly dismissed and is nowhere to be found.
Based on Charlotte Bronte´s own autobiographical experience in Brussels as a teacher and only published posthumously, The Professor was Charlotte Bronte´s first attempt at full-length fiction and bears all the hallmarks of her future work, with touches of genius and an unparalleled sharpness of style...
