Charlotte Bronte

Jane Eyre is a novel by English writer Charlotte Bront . It was published on 16 October 1847. Primarily of the Bildungsroman genre, Jane Eyre follows the emotions and experiences of its eponymous heroine, including her growth to adulthood and her love for Mr. Rochester, the Byronic master of fictitious Thornfield Hall. In its internalisation of the action-the focus is on the gradual unfolding of Jane's moral and spiritual sensibility, and all the events are coloured by a heightened intensity that was previously the domain of poetry-Jane Eyre revolutionised the art of fiction. Charlotte Bront has been called the 'first historian of the private consciousness' and the literary ancestor of writers like Joyce and Proust. The novel contains elements of social criticism, with a strong sense of morality at its core, but is nonetheless a novel many consider ahead of its time given the individualistic character of Jane and the novel's exploration of classism, sexuality, religion, and proto-feminism.

Första svenska översättningen på 150 år!» Brontës oefterhärmliga tonfall är skickligt klätt i svensk språkdräkt, för första gången på två sekel. Professorn är fängslande och skriven med skarp psykologisk blick.« | BTJ-häftet Den föräldralöse William Crimsworth vill slippa ett liv som kyrkoherde och tar anställning hos sin bror Edward. Där blir tillvaron svår, till slut outhärdlig. I stället börjar William ett nytt liv, i ett nytt land han inte förstår. Av egen kraft måste han skapa sig en plats i en värld full av falskhet och besvikelser. Med Professorn ville Charlotte Brontë göra uppror mot dåtidens förväntningar. Här lade hon grunden för teman hon också utforskade i Jane Eyre och Villette. Romanen är en skildring av en människas kamp, men också av längtan och begär. Vid sidan av den städade Crimsworth finns mer färgstarka personer, som den demoniske Mr Hunsden och den gåtfulla Zoraïde Reuter. Det går också att skymta författaren själv, sedd utifrån. En engelsk klassiker i översättning av Anna-Karin Malmström Ehring och Per Ove Ehrling - den första svenska översättningen sedan 1858 - med ett nyskrivet förord av litteraturforskaren Thomas Sjösvärd. CHARLOTTE BRONTË [1816 - 1855] var en engelsk författare, född i Thornton i West Yorkshire. Hon hade fem syskon, av vilka två var författarna Emily och Anne. Flera av Charlotte Brontës romaner hör till den engelska litteraturens klassiker.» Charlotte Brontë utforskar här sin kallelse, sitt sår och hon försöker trevande, som i en dröm finna de olika stigar som kan leda en till att bli hel.« | SANDRA M.

It describes his maturation, his loves and his eventual career as a professor at an all-girls school. The story starts off with a letter William has sent to his friend Charles, detailing his refusal to his uncle's proposals to become a clergyman, as well as his first meeting with his rich brother Edward. Seeking work as a tradesman, William is offered the position of a clerk by Edward. However, Edward is jealous of William's education and intelligence and treats him terribly. By the actions of the sympathetic Mr. Hunsden, William is relieved of his position and gains a new job at an all-boys boarding school in Belgium. The school is run by the friendly M. Pelet, who treats William kindly and politely. Soon, William's merits as a professor reach the ears of the headmistress of the neighbouring girls school. Mlle. Reuter offers him a position at her school, which he accepts. Initially captivated by Mlle. Reuter, William begins to entertain ideas of falling in love with her, only to have them crushed when he overhears her and M. Pelet talk about their upcoming marriage. Slightly heartbroken, he now treats Mlle. Reuter with a cold civility and begins to see the underlying nature of her character. Mlle. Reuter, however, continues to try to draw William back in, pretending to be benevolent and concerned. She goes so far as to plead him to teach one of her young teachers, Frances, who hopes to improve her skill in languages. William sees in this pupil promising intelligence and slowly begins to fall in love with her as he tutors her English. Jealous of the attention Frances is receiving from William, Mlle. Reuter takes it upon herself to casually dismiss Frances from her school and hide her address from William. It is revealed that as she was trying to make herself amiable in William's eyes, Mlle. Reuter accidentally fell in love with him herself. Not wanting to cause a conflict with M. Pelet, William leaves his establishment and moves out, in hopes of finding Frances. Eventually bumping into his beloved pupil in a graveyard, the two reconcile. William gets a new position as a professor at a college, with an exceedingly high wage. The two eventually open a school together and have a child. After obtaining financial security, the family travels all around England and settle in the countryside next to Mr. Hunsden.
