Synopsis:

Charlotte Brontë’s The Professor is the coming-of-age story of William Crimsworth. Given the opportunity to work as a teacher in an all-boys boarding school, William builds a reputation as a scholar and educator. Upon accepting an invitation to teach at the all-girls boarding school next door, William meets and falls in love with Frances, a young teacher he tutors.

The Professor was the first novel written by Charlotte Brontë and is unique among her works as the only one to feature a male narrator. Rejected by multiple publishers during her lifetime, The Professor was published posthumously in 1857.
