Synopsis
Written before "Jane Eyre" but not published until 1857, "The Professor" draws on Charlotte Brontë's own experience in Brussels to tell a tender and sometimes gently comic story of the love between a young English teacher and one of his students. The relationship of master and pupil also features in "Shirley", a much more ambitious novel set among the Yorkshire sales, in which social unrest during the Napoleonic wars provides a background for the love between heiress Shirley Keeldar and her former tutor.
Though linked by themes found also in "Villette" and "Jane Eyre" - love, class, female emancipation - these two very different books illustrate a range of experience which may surprise readers only familiar with those more famous novels.
