Charlotte Bronte

Widely regarded as a revolutionary novel, Bront 's masterpiece introduced the world to a radical new type of heroine, one whose defiant virtue and moral courage departed sharply from the more acquiescent and malleable female characters of the day. Passionate, dramatic, and surprisingly modern, Jane Eyre endures as one of the world's most beloved novels.

Villette is a novel written by English author Charlotte Bront . After a family disaster, Lucy Snowe travels to the fictional Belgian town of Villette to teach at a girls' school, where she is drawn into adventure and romance. The novel is partially based on Bront 's life as in 1842, when she was 26, the author traveled to Brussels, Belgium, where she enrolled in a boarding school and taught English in return for board and tuition. According to Virginia Wool, Villette "is her finest novel. All her force, and it is the more tremendous for being constricted, goes into the assertion." Villette was Charlotte Bront 's last novel published during her life.

The Professor (1857) is English writer Charlotte Brontë’s first novel. Rejected by several publishing houses, Brontë shelved the novel in order to write her masterpiece Jane Eyre (1847). After her death, The Professor was edited by Brontë’s widower, Arthur Bell Nichols, who saw that the novel was published posthumously. Based on Brontë’s experience as a student and teacher in Brussels—which similarly inspired her novel Villette—The Professor is an underappreciated early work from one of English literature’s most important writers. After rejecting a life as a clergyman, William Crimsworth goes to work as a clerk for his brother Edward, a successful businessman. Although he excels, his brother grows jealous of his ability and intelligence, abusing and belittling him until he is forced to quit. Disappointed, he accepts a job at a boarding school in Belgium where, mentored by the kind Monsieur Pelet, William flourishes as a professor. When news of his work reaches Mademoiselle Reuter, a local headmistress at a school for girls, she offers him a position, and William joins her staff. He begins to grow suspicious, however, when he overhears Reuter speaking about him with Pelet and discovers that the pair are engaged to be married. As he begins to second-guess their kindness, he falls in love with Frances, a young teacher-in-training. Harboring her own secret affection for William, Mademoiselle Reuter decides she must dismiss Frances if she is to maintain her control of the young Englishman. Charlotte Brontë’s The Professor is a novel of romance, jealousy, and gothic mystery, an early and promising work by one of Victorian England’s most prominent writers. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Charlotte Brontë’s The Professor is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.

»En fantastisk bok.« C-G Karlsson, Go'kväll SVT »Villette är en tidig psykologisk roman, där den intensiva, närmast febriga introspektionen är den dramatiska kraften. Charlotte Brontë skrev här med sitt fulla geni.« Malin Ullgren, DN »Där Jane Eyre bär hoppet om sagans förtrollande kraft är Villette mer realistisk, mer som livet i de flesta fall är - en kärlekshistoria utan garantier om ett lycklig slut. En fantastisk roman.« Josefin Holmström, SvDEfter en familjekatastrof måste föräldralösa Lucy Snowe ta sig fram bäst hon kan, i ett 1800-talets London, utan annat skyddsnät än den sista lönen från ett arbete som sällskapsdam åt en äldre kvinna som nu avlidit. Slumpen tar Lucy ombord på en båt till kontinenten och till Villette, där hon lyckas få anställning som lärarinna i engelska på en flickskola. Ständigt övervakas hon av skolans intriganta förestånderska. Som protestant betraktas hon med misstänksamhet i den strängt katolska kultur som präglar platsen. Ändå är det här Lucy söker ett hem åt ett känsligt men tåligt hjärta - fostrat av besvikelser, den ena hårdare än den andra. Med åren ska miss Snowe komma att se allt klarare på människolivet; på lidandet och lyckan; på rådande världssyner som religion och inte minst kön. Villette [1853] är mästerverket av Charlotte Brontë som legat i skuggan av den världsomspännande succén Jane Eyre. En länge dold pärla bland de engelska klassikerna, som här presenteras av Anna- Karin Malmström Ehrling & Per Ove Ehrling i den första svenska översättningen av romanen sedan 1854. CHARLOTTE BRONTË [1816-1855], som under större delen av sitt liv bodde på Haworths prästgård, nära Bradford i Yorkshire, var en engelsk romanförfattare och poet, den äldsta av de berömda systrarna Brontë. Villette [1853] var en för sin tid utmanande roman, med dess skarpa ifrågasättande av tidens kvinnoroll. Först efter modernismens genombrott fick Villette den klassikerstatus den förtjänar.» Om Jane Eyres popularitet bygger på all härlig skräckromantisk rekvisita, med den demoniske Mr Rochester och hans galna kvinna på vinden, så ligger Lucy Snows storhet i hennes levande psyke. Till det inre är hon förbluffande modern, vår samtida under bahytt och krinolin. Modern också som romangestalt, komplex, kapabel till starka motstridiga eller kluvna känslor.« Ulrika Knutson, GP »Det är med detta stoiska lugn Lucy möter alla hinder, roat observerar sin bitvis hysteriska omgivning och orkestrerar sin egen karriärklättring. Det är en berättare som är ganska svår att tycka om, och de yttre intrigerna är få och triviala ändå behåller romanen en i sitt grepp genom (nästan) alla sina nära 600 sidor.« Amanda Svensson, Sydsvenskan »Mindre känd än Jane Eyre men minst lika bra. Lucy Snowe är en fantastisk karaktär som utmanar dåtidens begränsade kvinnoroll.« Lyrans noblesser

Villette (1853) is a novel by English writer Charlotte Brontë. It was the third and final novel she published in her lifetime, followed only by The Professor, her posthumously released first novel which was largely reconceived and rewritten as Villette. Inspired by Brontë’s experience traveling and teaching English in Brussels, where she went at the age of 26 with her sister Emily before returning alone the following year, Villette is the story of an Englishwoman abroad and contains the themes of loneliness, secrecy, romance, and tragedy which circulate throughout much of her work. Following a family tragedy, Lucy Snowe becomes employed as a caregiver by an elderly woman named Miss Marchmont, who treats her kindly and shares stories of life and lost love. When Miss Marchmont dies, Lucy—now without family, home, or employment—decides to leave England for Labassecour, a fictional country based on Brontë’s experience of Belgium. She is hired to teach English at a boarding school in the city of Villette, where she meets a strangely familiar English doctor and falls in love with M. Paul Emanuel, a local professor. Although he is a widower, M. Paul faces pressure from family members and religious authorities alike, and is forced to choose between a life of social acceptance and a life with the woman he loves. Amidst these circumstances, and haunted by repeated encounters with a nun rumored to be a ghost, Lucy Snowe must rely on her wits and courage as she suffers through not only intense loneliness, but a lack of control over the events which shape her life. Charlotte Brontë’s Villette is a compelling gothic novel which explores the psychological effects of a lack of agency on its protagonist while illuminating the horrors which loom over everyday life. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Charlotte Brontë’s Villette is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.

“At the end we are steeped through and through with the genius, the vehemence, the indignation of Charlotte Brontë'”-Virginia Woolf “Given the action of Jane Eyre, which is in every sense dramatic, there is a pull, all the same, between action and consciousness.-Raymond Williams “Teaching the true strength of character for generations.”-The Guardian Jane Eyre, (1847) the first novel from Charlotte Brontë, originally published under the pen name “Currer Bell” was an immediate commercial and literary success. This classic work was unprecedented in its forthright reproach towards Victorian social norms, moral duty, and gender inequality; It is likewise one of the most extraordinary stories of love and freedom in the English language. Jane Eyre, which follows a young woman’s passageway into adulthood and the unfolding of her interior emotional states, is a singular work of genre-defying fiction. Its story begins as the eponymous heroine is orphaned and under the care of her aunt, Mrs. Reed, a well-to-do yet heartless guardian. Jane is unfairly punished, and locked into “the red room”, where she collapses in fright after an encounter with the apparent ghost of her deceased Uncle Reed. Following the incident, Jane’s aunt sends her away to “Lowood”, an oppressive school run by the abusive and fraudulent headmaster, Mr. Brocklehurst. After an outbreak of typhoid devastates the school, a new kindly administration is installed. Jane’s life finally turns around; she remains at the school for six years and eventually becomes an instructor. After teaching for several years, Jane takes a position as a governess at Thornfield, the residence of the unbridled yet elegant Edward Rochester. As Jane embraces her duties at the estate, she begins to fall in love with her employer, and much to her surprise he asks for her hand in marriage. On the wedding day it is revealed that Edward possesses deep and dark secrets, and Jane flees for the sake of her own emotional integrity. In the ensuing experiences of her retreat, Jane confronts the procession of experiences and the formidable trials of her new life with the command of her unyielding self-determination. A startling modern classic of pronto-feminism, Jane Eyre is one of the most ingenious romance novels ever written. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Jane Eyre is both modern and readable.
