Rejected by the publisher who took on the work of her sisters in 1846-Anne's Agnes Grey and Emily's Wuthering Heights-The Professor remained unpublished until 1857, two years after Charlotte Brontd's death.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. Brontd'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 Brontd's later novels and a compelling read in its own right.
"We read Charlotte Brontd not for exquisite observation of character, not for comedy, not for a philosophic view of life, but for her poetry. Probably that is so with all writers who have, as she has, an overpowering personality, so that . . . they only have to open the door to make themselves felt. There is in them some untamed ferocity perpetually at war with the accepted order of things |
