(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)
Left by harrowing circumstances to fend for herself in the great capital of a foreign country, Lucy Snowe, the narrator and heroine of Villette, achieves by degrees an authentic independence from both outer necessity and inward grief. Charlotte Brontë's last novel, published in 1853, has a dramatic force comparable to that of her other masterpiece, Jane Eyre, as well as strikingly modern psychological insight and a revolutionary understanding of human loneliness. With an introduction by Lucy Hughes-Hallet.

The authoritative text reprinted in this volume is the third edition, published in 1848 (the last edition corrected by Charlotte Bronte). The notes to the text pay particular attention to literary and Biblical allusions and to words and phrases not readily available in desk dictionaries. They also include translation of French passages. The backgrounds section of this Norton Critical Edition offers generous samplings of Charlotte Bronte's early writings, letters, and poems. It also included pertinent passages from Mrs. Gaskell's biography as well as a sampling from the children magazine The Children's Friend, demonstrating a particular kind of oppression Jane Eyre suffered.

Desi este primul roman al scriitoarei britanice, Profesorul a fost publicat in 1857, postum, in ciuda repetatelor eforturi ale autoarei de a gasi un editor. Cu toate acestea, Charlotte Brontë nu a renuntat niciodata la el; l-a iubit poate mai mult ca pe celelalte romanele ale sale, asa cum o mama este mai apropiata de unul dintre copiii ei, daca este nedeptatit de altii. Inspirat din perioada petrecuta la Bruxelles, rod al framantarilor interioare prilejuite de dragostea neimpartasita a scriitoarei pentru profesorul ei de franceza, romanul este scris la persoana intai din perspectiva unui personaj masculin. Naratorul este William Crimsworth, un orfan care-si deapana amintirile sub forma unei scrisori-fluviu adresata unui fost coleg de scoala. Eroul principal este eliberat de umilintele la care este supus de fratele sau, ca angajat in fabrica acestuia, din Yorkshire. Pleaca la Bruxelles, unde isi gaseste o slujba de profesor. Flirteaza cu directoarea scolii, Zoraide Reuter. In cele din urma se indragosteste de o eleva-profesoara, considerata de critici personajul feminin cel mai apropiat de realitate al Charlottei Brontë. Dincolo de deceptiile iscate de judecatile personale uneori legate de convingerile religioase ale scriitoarei, romanul e plin de elocventa si de miez. Este focalizat asupra relatiei dintre predominanta erotica si identitatea sociala. Ca slujbas fara avere si statut, Crimsworth este fatalmente constient de faptul ca nu este atragator pentru femei. Frances este si ea o orfana, saraca si umila caracterizare ce reliefeaza legatura intrinseca dintre inferioritatea statutului social si reprimarea impusa sentimentelor. Prin ea, Brontë exploreaza obsesia adversitatilor intampinate de femeile lipsite de mijloace si relatii. Atat Frances, cat si Crimsworth contrabalanseaza absenta avantajelor in plan social cu munca asidua si autostapanirea, virtuti recompensate prin securitatea pecuniara si garantarea unei locuinte.
