{"product_id":"bronte-charlotte-the-professor-9781853262081","title":"The Professor","description":"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publisher who took on the work of her sisters in 1846 - Anne's Agnes Grey and Emily's Wuthering Heights - it remained unpublished until 1857, two years after Charlotte Bronte's death.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.","brand":"Wordsworth Editions Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Used - acceptable","offer_id":53449614033238,"sku":"9781853262081-B","price":2.59,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53589571993942,"sku":"9781853262081-G","price":2.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53591863165270,"sku":"9781853262081-V","price":3.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781853262081_1.jpg?v=1778084522","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/bronte-charlotte-the-professor-9781853262081","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
