"The middle and latter portion of The Professor is as good as I can write. It contains more pith, more substance, more reality, in my judgment, than much of Jane Eyre." - Charlotte Brontë The Professor was the first novel that Charlotte Brontë 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the publisher who took on the work of her sisters in 1846--Anne's Agnes Grey and Emily's Wuthering Heights--it remained unpublished until 1857, two years after Charlotte Brontë's death.

"The middle and latter portion of The Professor is as good as I can write. It contains more pith, more substance, more reality, in my judgment, than much of Jane Eyre." - Charlotte Brontë The Professor was the first novel that Charlotte Brontë 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the publisher who took on the work of her sisters in 1846--Anne's Agnes Grey and Emily's Wuthering Heights--it remained unpublished until 1857, two years after Charlotte Brontë's death. Like Villette (1853), The Professor is based on her experiences as a language student in Brussels in 1842. Told 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. Brontë'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. The Professor endures today as both a harbinger of Brontë's later novels and a compelling read in its own right.

Autorenporträt
Charlotte Brontë was born in Yorkshire in 1816. As a child, she was sent to boarding school, where two of her sisters died; she was subsequently educated at home with her younger siblings, Emily, Branwell and Anne. As an adult, Charlotte worked as a governess and taught in a school in Brussels. Jane Eyre was first published in 1847 under the pen-name Currer Bell, and was followed by Shirley (1848), Villette (1853) and The Professor (posthumously published in 1857). In 1854 Charlotte married her father's curate, Arthur Bell Nicholls. She died in March of the following year.

NEUE TASCHENBÜCHER
Adams Weg, erzählt
von Charlotte Brontë
Ein junger Engländer arbeitet sich durchs Leben, ein Schreibjob in der Fabrik seines Bruders – ein Ekelpaket! –, dann nach Brüssel, Englischlehrer – „Professor“ – in einer Knaben-, dann einer Mädchenschule. Eine Affäre mit der Schulleiterin, dann einer jungen Lehrerin. Alles ganz pragmatisch, ohne romanhaften Glamour. Als Adams Sohn sollte er Adams Verhängnis teilen, verkündet der Autor programmatisch, Currer Bell – so nannte sich Charlotte Brontë, um ihre Schreiberkarriere nicht durch einen Frauennamen zu erschweren. Der „Professor“ ist ihr erster Roman, 1846 geschrieben, erst nach ihrem Tod veröffentlicht. Selten war das so aufregend wie hier, einem bei der Fabrikation von Anschauungen, Vorstellungen, Sätzen zuzusehen. Mademoiselle, was sind historische oder dichterische Assoziationen?, fragt ein Skeptiker, aus England, dem Land ohne Assoziationen. Die Antwort, von Milton inspiriert: „Wenn der getreue Abdiel selbst . . . ganz plötzlich seiner Fähigkeiten zur Assoziation beraubt werden würde, ich glaube, dann würde er bald durch die ,immerwährenden Tore‘ davonstürzen, den Himmel verlassen, um nachzusehen, was er in der Hölle vergessen hatte.“ FRITZ GÖTTLER
