  • "The Professor is the story of William Crimsworth, who goes to Brussels to seek his fortune, falls in love with Frances, a schoolteacher and lace-maker, and is himself pursued by Mlle Reuter."@en
  • "The Professor was the first novel that Charlotte Brontë completed. Rejected by the publisher who took on the work of her sisters in 1846 - Anne's Agnes Grey and Emily's Wuthering Heights - it remained unpublished until 1857, two years after Charlotte Brontë's death.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."@en
  • "The Professor was the first novel that Charlotte BrontE completed. Rejected by the publisher who took on the work of her sisters in 1846--Anne's Agnes Grey and Emily's Wuthering Heights--it remained unpublished until 1857, two years after Charlotte BrontE's death.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. BrontE'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 BrontE's later novels and a compelling read in its own right. "The middle and latter portion of The Professor is as good as I can write," proclaimed BrontE. "It contains more pith, more substance, more reality, in my judgment, than much of Jane Eyre.""@en
  • "Presents Charlotte Bronte's classic novel about a young man's life from ancillary work in the local mills to the position of a professor in Belgium and the various people with whom he comes in contact whose values differ from his own."
  • "HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics. The Professor is Charlotte BrontE's first novel, reflecting her own experience of life in Brussels and published after her untimely death. Viewed as a precursor to the narrative style and characterization she perfected in her later works, such as Jane Eyre, the novel is BrontE's portrayal of a love story from a male perspective. Writing from the point of view of orphaned young teacher William Crimsworth ' as the sole male protagonist among BrontE's works ' the author allows herself a freedom of action in love and will that reveals her character's loves, desires, and ambitions, as he forges a new life on his own terms in Brussels. William finds himself caught between the desire he feels for Zoraide Reuter, the beguiling head of the girls' school where he teaches, and the gentle love he feels for one of his pupils, Frances Henri. Exploring questions of love, identity, freedom, and independence, The Professor is an important work in the small opus that is Charlotte BrontE's significant contribution to English literature."
  • "Orphan William Crimsworth, raised by aristocratic uncles and educated for the clergy, rejects that life for work at his brother's Yorkshire mill. Treated badly there, William seeks his fortune in Brussels, where he finds work as a schoolteacher and falls in love."@en

  • "The Professor was the first novel Charlotte Brontë wrote, but was only published posthumously. It follows the journey of William Crimsworth into maturity, showing his loves and the path to his eventual career as Professor at an all-girl's school. The novel was largely influenced by Brontë's time in Brussels, where she fell passionately in love with her married language professor."@en

  • "Orphaned young teacher William Crimsworth forges a new life on his own terms in Brussels. William finds himself caught between the desire he feels for Zoraide Reuter, the beguiling head of the girls, school where he teaches, and the gentle love he feels for one of his pupils, Frances Henri."
  • "The story is one of love and doubt, as the hero, William Crimsworth, seeks his fortune as a teacher in Brussels and finds his love for Frances, severely tested by the sensuously beguiling and manipulative headmistress, Zoraide."@en
  • "This little book was written before either ""Jane Eyre"" or ""Shirley,"" and yet no indulgence can be solicited for it on the plea of a first attempt. A first attempt it certainly was not, as the pen which wrote it had been previously worn a good deal in a practice of some years."@en
  • "Charlotte Brontë' s first novel, based upon her experiences in Brussels as a language student and teacher. Much of the novel was later reworked into 'Villette'. It was published posthumously by approval of Arthur Bell Nicholls who reviewed and edited the novel."
  • "The Professor was the first novel by Charlotte Brontë. It was originally written before Jane Eyre and rejected by many publishing houses, but was eventually published posthumously in 1857. The book is the story of a young man, William Crimsworth. It describes his maturation, his loves and his eventual career as a professor at an all-girl's school. The story is based upon Charlotte Brontë's experiences in Brussels, where she studied as a language student in 1842."@en
  • ""A Yorkshire clerk moves to Belgium as a teacher. There he complicates his love life" --Provided by publisher."@en
  • "Charlotte Brontë' s The professor is the coming-of-age story of William Crimsworth. Given the opportunity to work as a teacher in an all-boys boarding school, William builds a reputation as a scholar and educator. Upon accepting an invitation to teach at the all-girls boarding school next door, William meets and falls in love with Frances, a young teacher he tutors."
  • "William Crimsworth escapes a dreary clerkship in industrial Yorkshire by taking a job as a teacher in Belgium. There, however, his entanglement with the sensuous but manipulative Zoraide Reuter, complicates his affections for a penniless girl who is both teacher and pupil in Reuter's school."@en
  • "Published after Charlotte Bronte's death in 1855, The Professor is unique in that it was the first book Bronte wrote, and the only one narrated by a male character, the scholarly William Crimsworth. William, orphaned at a young age, rejects the life of a clergyman his uncles choose for him and sets out on his own, eventually becoming a teacher at an all-girls school in Belgium. Once established there, he finds himself falling for a talented student, Frances, but their budding romance is threatened by petty jealousies. The final novel published by any of the famous Bronte sisters, The Professor was based partly on Charlotte's own experiences teaching in Belgium."@en
  • "William Crimsworth escapes a dreary clerkship in industrial Yorkshire by taking a job as a teacher in Belgium. There, however, his entanglement with the sensuous but manipulative Zoraide Reuter complicates his affections for a penniless girl who is both teacher and pupil in Reuter's school. Also included in this edition is Emma, Charlotte Bronte's last, unfinished novel. Both works are drawn from the original Clarendon texts."

  • "Written two years before Jane Eyre, The Professor was Charlotte Bront's first novel and was based on her own experiences in Brussels, althought it was not published until after her death.
