Description
A sharp look at Victorian relationships…
William Crimsworth goes to Brussels to seek his fortune and takes a job teaching at a boarding school for girls. He begins a flirtation with the headmistress, Zoraïde Reuter, but later falls in love with the young pupil-teacher Frances Henri, only to have his courtship thwarted by the jealous Mlle. Reuter.
Deeply critical of a society in which relationships between men and women are reduced to power struggles, The Professor was Charlotte Brontë's first novel.

What could have been a good story if not for the fact the main character is one of the most prideful self centered people I've ever had the misfortune of reading about. Every interesting idea is quickly put out so that all that's left is harsh description after harsh description from the very unlikable William Crimsworth
