Kurzbeschreibung
Written before Jane Eyre, "The Professor" challenged contemporary expectations of the novel by its brevity, realism, and insistence on a working career both before and after marriage for its hero and heroine. The action begins against a background of the fight for better factory conditions in the 1830s and finishes in the early 1840s with the spread of liberal ideas which led to the continental revolutions of 1848. This edition is based directly on the author's fair copy manuscript, and also includes "Emma" Charlotte Bronte's last, unfinished attempt to write a novel after "Villette".

For a young writer's first attempt this novel is quite well-written and the plot is fairly well-conceived. However, the narrator is badly done (the Bronte girls should never try to write from a man's perspective!) and the narrative is both dull and sentimental. The characters have none of the strength and personality which makes Jane Eyre such a timeless favorite. I prefer Charlotte's later work, which has acquired depth and realism. In The Professor, her emotional maturity had clearly not caught up to her precocious intellect.

Readers aspiring to have a knowledge of Charlotte Brontë's work should read "The Professor" as it contains the key to much of her subsequent writing like "Jane Eyre" or "Vilette". The novel is based on the author's own experiences in Brussels. The central character, William Crimsworth, an orphan, leaves his dreary clerking post in a Yorkshire mill to start a career as a teacher of English in the Belgian capital. He falls in love with a Protestant pupil, Frances Henri, teacher and lace mender. However William's relationship is complicated by the manipulative and beguiling Catholic headmistress, Zoraide Reuter, and her cunning attempts to divert him from his destiny.
The novel, written in 1846, astonishes by its brevity and realism and by its portrayal of the heroine's insistence on a working career after her marriage.

The Professor is not Charlotte Bronte's best work, but it has a good plot. This book resembles Agnes Grey by Anne Bronte. At first, when reading, I thought that this book was about a women, but it wasn't, it was about a man. To make the transition was a bit hard. I think that Charlotte Bronte should have made this book about a women, not a man. Bronte's way of portraying a male was different than what I thought the male role was. Bronte portrayed the male as someone who cared very much about women and their benefit. My idea of the male role in Victorian Society was not to care that much about the welfare of the women. This book also has a love story. Along with the struggle "the professor" went through, there was also a woman he wished to have. This book, overall, was not bad, but not one of Charlotte Bronte's best.

Nothing to get excited about
Talk about a classic with loose ends. Lots of who's and why's. Not clear on many main points, Bronte overlooked basic reader questions that were never answered. Lesen Sie weiter...

Interesting perspective of victorian men.
Charlotte Bronte is one of the few female authors of the victroian era who chose to appropriate the male voice in a first person narrative. Lesen Sie weiter...
