Based on Charlotte Bronte`s personal experience as a teacher in Brussels, Villette is a moving tale of repressed feelings and subjection to cruel circumstance and position, borne with heroic fortitude. Rising above the frustrations of confinement within a rigid social order, it is also a story of a woman`s right to love and be loved.

Written two years before `Jane Eyre`, ` The Professor` was Charlotte Bronte`s first novel and was based on her own experiences in Brussels, although it was not published until after her own death. The story is one of love and doubt, as the hero, William Crimsworth, seeks his fortune as a teacher in Brussels and finds his love for the good Anglo-Swiss girl, Frances Henri, severely tested by the sensuously beguiling and manipulative headmistress, Zoraide Reuter. The novel challenged many of the deeply held expectations of the time and is essential reading for all those seeking an understanding of the author and her work.

Charlotte Bronte`s first novel, The Professor, is narrated from the viewpoint of an ambitious and self-made man. Rejecting his aristocratic inheritance William Crimsworth goes to Brussels to find his fortune. He takes a job teaching at a boarding schoolfor young ladies, where he begins a flirtation with Zorai`de Reuter, who, out of jealousy, attempts to frustrate his courtship of Frances Henri, an attractive young woman determined to make her way in the world. In The Professor Charlotte Bronte holds up to scrutiny the Victorian ideals of self-help and individualism. The result is an unusual love story, and a novel profoundly critical of a society in which the relationships between men and women are reduced to power struggles.

Jane Eyre is one of the great romantic heroines of world literature. Orphaned into cold charity at the hands of her rich cousins and, later, at Lowood School, Jane escapes to take up a position as governess to the young ward of Mr.Rochester. Their love affair, Jane`s discovery of Rochester`s secret - hideously concealed in the attic of Thornfield Hall - and her desperate flight are told in a drama of passionate intensity whose pace never slackens. Jane Eyre is a love story with a happy ending, rare in its time for its sympathetic portrayal of the love of a married man for another woman. It is, as Thackeray said, "The masterwork of a great genius".

Written after the deaths of Branwell, Emily and Anne, she found it a struggle to finish and in her portraits of Shirley Keeldar and Caroline Helstone Charlotte Bronte poured out her feelings for her dead sisters. Nevertheless, it is a historical novel which depicts an uneasy era of Luddite riots, bad harvests and social unrest as well as Charlotte Bronte`s belief that the denial of the world of feeling is responsible for much of society`s suffering. Tense, romantic, atmospheric, ringing with imaginative power, Charlotte Bronte`s story of the two women and the men they loved grips until the last page.
