{"product_id":"professor","title":"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publisher who took on the work of her sisters in 1846 - Anne's Agnes Grey and Emily's Wuthering Heights - it remained unpublished until 1857, two years after Charlotte Bronte's death.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.\n\nTold 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.\n\nThe Professor endures today as both a harbinger of Bronte's later novels and a compelling read in its own right.","brand":"Charlotte Brontë","offers":[{"title":"Wordsworth Edns. \/ 1994 \/ A13","offer_id":54756715757909,"sku":"9781853262081","price":2.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/4188\/8668\/files\/view_archive_7ae78106-a8c0-49c0-b2aa-1eb476a1d4ab.jpg?v=1787761566","url":"https:\/\/www.bookworld.ie\/products\/professor","provider":"Book World Ireland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
