発行者による作品情報
The Professor is Charlotte Brontes first novel, in which she audaciously inhabits the voice and consciousness of a man, William Crimsworth. Like Jane Eyre he is parentless; like Lucy Snowe in Villette he leaves the certainties of England to forge a life in Brussels. But as a man, William has freedom of action, and as a writer Bronte is correspondingly liberated, exploring the relationship between power and sexual desire. William's first person narration reveals his attraction to the dominating directress of the girls' school where he teaches, played out in the school's 'secret garden'. Balanced against this is his more temperate relationship with one of his pupils, Frances Henri, in which mastery and submission interplay.
カスタマーレビュー
It's a classic but I expected more
As I started this book,it seemed promising with the profound view of the characters and the local descriptions of the XVIII century.Unfortunately it didn't have the gothic style of a typical Charlotte Bronte work,although I liked its significant transparency on describing the hero on a realistic basis.It's worth reading it,as long as you enjoy a romance with a happy ending.
