Publisher's Synopsis
The Professor is a novel written by Charlotte Bronte, first published in 1857. The story follows the journey of William Crimsworth, a young man who leaves England to escape his oppressive family and starts a new life as a teacher in Brussels. William faces many challenges in his new job, including dealing with difficult students and navigating the complex relationships between his colleagues. Along the way, he falls in love with a fellow teacher, Frances Henri, but their relationship is complicated by social and cultural differences. As William struggles to find his place in the world, he learns important lessons about love, friendship, and the power of education. The Professor is a compelling and insightful novel that explores themes of class, gender, and identity, and showcases Bronte's unique voice and literary talent.No man likes to acknowledge that he has made a mistake in the choice of his profession, and every man, worthy of the name, will row long against wind and tide before he allows himself to cry out, ""I am baffled!"" and submits to be floated passively back to land.
