«Villette» is the Victorian novel by Charlotte Brontë, published by Wordsworth Editions Ltd in paperback (496 pages, in English).
Lucy Snowe, marked by a sad past, leaves England and finds work as a teacher at Madame Beck's boarding school in Villette. There she observes the romance of the coquettish Ginevra Fanshawe with Dr. John and forms a relationship with the authoritarian Professor Paul Emanuel, in a narrative about loneliness, independence, and the right to love.
Originally published in 1853, the novel is inspired by Charlotte Brontë's experience as a teacher in Brussels. This Wordsworth Classics edition includes an introduction and notes by Sally Minogue.
For readers of classics and Victorian fiction, with a particular interest in introspective and self-reflective female characters.
