The Professor
Charlotte Brontë Audio Book

Even after the resounding triumph of ‘Jane Eyre’, Charlotte Brontë could persuade no one to publish ‘The Professor’, her first novel. This story of William Crimsworth, who goes to Brussels to seek his fortune, falls in love with Frances, a schoolteacher and lace-maker, and is himself pursued by Mlle Reuter, is a subtle portrayal of a self-made man and his relationships in a society that worships property and propriety.
