Rated 5 starsSatisfaction with Book Purchase
I was most pleased with the prompt delivery of this wonderful novel by Charlotte Bronte. The condition of the book was perfectly described by the seller as "new." I would recommend "The Professor" to anyone who is a follower of Charlotte Bronte's wonderful books. Have both an English and French dictionary at your side when reading it, but this does not distract from the great story.

Rated 5 starsI have to give this 5 stars... no one writes books like this anymore!
With all it's flaws, I have to give this book 5 stars. It has no climax and no real ending. What it does have is Charlotte Bronte's view that fits into today's society.

Rated 5 starsAnother Great Love Story
Though not as well developed as some of the other Bronte stories and perhaps too predictable, The Professor is still a great love story. William Crimsworth must find his own way in the world, first in England and then in Europe. While working in the field of education he finds a love interest but looses to another. He finds another love interest, but looses to circumstance. Finally, however, he overcomes circumstance.

Rated 5 starsInteresting perspective of victorian men.
Charlotte Bronte is one of the few female authors of the victroian era who chose to appropriate the male voice in a first person narrative. From this perspective, this is a very interesting novel for it presents a women's view of the male psyche, or rather the male pshyche women wish men possessed. William Crimsworth, the novel's hero, is portrayed as young man who is sympathetic toward women and their gender related struggles...
