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.
