Di ritorno da Bruxelles per un'esperienza di studio, Charlotte Brontë scrisse Il professore. Era il suo primo vero romanzo. Rifiutato dalla Smith, Elder & Co. perché troppo corto, le fu suggerito di migliorarlo e allungarlo. Di tre tentativi oggi sopravvive solo questo testo che prende il titolo convenzionale di I Moore. Vi ritroviamo i personaggi classici del repertorio di Charlotte: i fratelli in dissidio (John Henry e William) e le signorine frivole a caccia di matrimonio aristocratico. Stavolta sono William Moore e Alicia Wynne a farci sognare un amore faticoso e sacrificato, ma forse, alla fine, semplicemente amore.

With her final novel, Villette, Charlotte Bronte reached the height of her artistic power. First published in 1853, Villette is Bronte's most accomplished and deeply felt work, eclipsing even Jane Eyre in critical acclaim. Her narrator, the autobiographical Lucy Snowe, flees England and a tragic past to become an instructor in a French boarding school in the town of Villette. There, she unexpectedly confronts her feelings of love and longing as she witnesses the fitful romance between Dr. John, a handsome young Englishman, and Ginerva Fanshawe, a beautiful coquetter. This first pain brings others, and with them comes the heartache Lucy has tried so long to escape. Yet in spite of adversity and disappointment, Lucy Snowe survives to recount the unstinting vision of a turbulent life's journey—a journey that is one of the most insightful fictional studies of a woman's consciousness in English literature.
