{"product_id":"9781847497178","title":"The Professor : Annotated Edition by Charlotte Bronte","description":"When the orphaned William refuses his uncles' proposal to become a clergyman and angrily leaves his job in the counting-house of his brother's mill, he decides to accept a position as an English teacher at a boys' school in Brussels. When his career leads him to take up an additional post at a girls' school nearby, William becomes emotionally involved with the manipulative headmistress of the establishment, Mademoiselle Reuter. The tensions rise until one of his pupils and fellow teachers - for whom he has tender feelings - is suddenly dismissed and is nowhere to be found.   Based on Charlotte Bront?'s own autobiographical experience in Brussels as a teacher and only published posthumously, The Professor was Charlotte Bront?'s first attempt at full-length fiction and bears all the hallmarks of her future work, with touches of genius and an unparalleled sharpness of style.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56307913032053,"sku":"9781847497178","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781847497178.jpg?v=1762805775","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781847497178","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
