Charlotte Bronte

The Professor (Illustrated) Charlotte Bronte

The Professor was the first novel written by Charlotte Brontë. The novel was written before Jane Eyre, but was rejected by many publishing agencies. It was eventually published in 1857, with the approval of Charlotte Brontë's widower, Arthur Bell Nicholls, who took on the task of reviewing and editing the text. The novel is the story of a young man, William Crimsworth. It describes his maturation, his career as a teacher in Brussels, and his personal relationships. About the Author: Charlotte Brontë (1816 - 1855) was an English novelist and poet and the eldest of the three Brontë sisters who survived into adulthood and whose novels became classics of English literature all times. While her first novel, The Professor, was rejected, her second novel, Jane Eyre, was published in 1847. Brontë was the last to die of all her siblings. She became pregnant shortly after her marriage in June 1854 but died on 1855, almost certainly from hyperemesis gravidarum, a complication of pregnancy which causes excessive nausea and vomiting.
