Charlotte Brontes first ever book, The Professor, is a love story full of feeling and emotion told from a male viewpoint - a must read for Brontefans. The first book ever to emerge from Charlotte Brontes pen, The Professor is an autobiographically inspired romantic love story set in Brussels. Thinly veiling her personal experiences, Bronteunusually uses a male narrator, making this a fascinating and unique read. With the action played out in dark boarding-school classrooms and windy streets, Bronteweaves a tale of much emotion - one that foresees the longer, better-known saga Villette that was to follow many years later. Fresh out of Eton, orphaned William Crimsworth finds himself in an unenviable situation - a clerk to his little-educated, caddish mill-owner brother - until opportunity presents itself for a complete change of fortune. Crimsworth is offered a job in Brussels as a teacher in an all-girls boarding school, run by a M Pelet. Later headhunted to a better position by the beguiling Zoraide Reuter, Crimsworth believes himself slightly enamoured with his new employer - only to discover her secretly and perfidiously engaged to M Pelet. His new position almost intolerable, Crimsworth finds solace in teaching Frances Henri, a young Swiss-English seamstress teacher with promising intelligence and ear for language. Mlle Reuter though, jealous of the young professors obvious partiality, dismisses Frances from her position. Crimsworth, in despair, is forced to resign from the school and takes up a ghostly existence in Brussels, roaming the streets in the hopes of finding his Frances. An often neglected classic, The Professor is not only a compellingly written novel but fascinating in its concern with gender issues, religion and social class, making it a book still studied today.

In "Charlotte Brontes Juvenilia: Tales of Angria," readers are invited into the imaginative realm crafted by a young Bronte, encapsulated in a collection of narratives that reveal her early literary experimentation. These tales, filled with elaborate characters and vivid landscapes, exhibit a rich tapestry of Romantic influences, intertwining elements of Gothic fiction with the emerging themes of personal angst and social critique characteristic of her later works. Through stories like "Mina Laury" and "Stancliffes Hotel," Brontes juvenile prose not only foreshadows her mature style but also serves as a crucial lens into her exploration of identity, love, and the complexities of human relationships in a patriarchal society. Charlotte Bronte, one of the most significant literary figures of the 19th century, was deeply influenced by her tumultuous upbringing and the literary milieu of her time. Born in 1816 in Yorkshire, England, she and her siblings created a fictional world known as Angria during their childhood, a creative endeavor that laid the foundation for her subsequent novels. This collection reflects her bold imagination and a fierce desire for self-expression, elements that were both cultivated and constrained by her societal environment. This collection is essential for readers who wish to delve into the formative stages of Brontes literary genius. It offers valuable insights into her roots as a writer, revealing the prolific creativity that would later culminate in her renowned works. A journey through these tales not only enriches our understanding of Brontes artistic evolution but also provides a timeless reflection on the struggles and aspirations that resonate across generations.

Its focus is less on individual men and women, although their stories add compulsive drama and tension, than on the individual perceived in close relation with the forces moulding society. Charlotte Bronte chose to set it during the Napoleonic Wars - a period of bad harvests, Luddite riots, economic unrest and the oppression of women - in order to grapple with social and political issues. In her story of two contrasting heroines and the men they love can be traced her wish to reconcile the world of romantic love and fulfilment with the gritty realities of suffering, obligation and social duty.

Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last. To pluck the mask from the face of the Pharisee, is not to lift an impious hand to the Crown of Thorns.These things and deeds are diametrically opposed: they are as distinct as is vice from virtue. Men too often confound them: they should not be confounded: appearance should not be mistaken for truth; narrow human doctrines, that only tend to elate and magnify a few, should not be substituted for the world redeeming creed of Christ. There isI repeat ita difference; and it is a good, and not a bad action to mark broadly and clearly the line of separation between them.The world may not like to see these ideas dissevered, for it has been accustomed to blend them; finding it convenient to make external show pass for sterling worthto let white washed walls vouch for clean shrines. It may hate him who dares to scrutinise and exposeto rase the gilding, and show base metal under itto penetrate the sepulchre, and reveal charnel relics: but hate as it will, it is indebted to him.

Charlotte Bronte became famous for her novels, but she also wrote poetry under the pen name Currer Bell, writing her first known poem at the age of 13. Many of her poems were published in collaboration with her sisters and concerned the fictional world of Glass Town, an imaginary world she created with her siblings in their youth. Charlotte further developed this concept and her later poems concerned the imaginary world of Angria, often concerning Byronic heroes. While she was unhappy working as a teacher Charlotte took out her sorrows in poetry, writing a series of spiritual and personal poems, drawing a sharp contrast between her miserable life as a teacher and the vivid imaginary worlds she and her siblings had created.This edition includes:Biography:The Life of Charlotte Bronte by Elizabeth GaskellPoetry:Pilates Wifes DreamMementosThe Wifes WillThe WoodFrancesGilbertLifeThe LetterRegretPresentimentThe Teachers MonologuePassionPreferenceEvening SolaceStanzasPartingApostasyWinter StoresThe MissionaryFrom RetrospectionOn the Death of Anne BrontePleasureSpeak of the North!
