The Professor (Illustrated with TOC and Original Commentary)

Charlotte Bronte (1816-1855) was an English novelist and poet who didn’t live long enough to give the world all she could have, but she is best known as being one of the three critically acclaimed Bronte sisters, along with Anne and Emily, and all three of them wrote novels that are now considered classics of English and Western literature.

Charlotte and her sisters attempted to write several different novels and stories, eventually publishing a volume of poems under male pseudonyms entitled Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell. Most of the poetry was Emily’s, but it didn’t get popular reviews, leading the sisters to begin novels.

The Professor was the first novel written by Charlotte, and at the time it was rejected by many publishing houses, until it was finally published posthumously in 1857.The book is the story of a young man, William Crimsworth, and is a first-person narrative from his perspective. It describes his maturation, his loves and his eventual career as a professor at an all-girl's school..

This edition of The Professor is specially formatted with a Table of Contents, an original introduction, and images of Charlotte and more.
