<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>These two classic novels, together with Brontë's well-known <i>Jane Eyre</i> and <i>Villette</i>, comprise a magnificent oeuvre, each one a singular achievement of characterization, human understanding, and narrative elegance and drama. <br><i><br>Shirley </i>is the story of a complicated friendship between two very different women: shy and socially constrained Caroline, the poor niece of a tyrannical clergyman; and the independent heiress Shirley, who has both the resources and the spirit to defy convention. The romantic entanglements of the two women with a local mill owner and his penniless brother pit the claims of passion against the boundaries of class and society.<br><i><br>The Professor</i>--the first novel Brontë completed, the last to be published--is both a disturbing love story and the coming-of-age tale of a self-made man. At its center is William Crimsworth, who has come to Brussels to work as an instructor in a school for girls. When he becomes entangled with Zoräide Reuter, a charismatic and brilliantly intellectual woman, the fervor of her feelings threatens both her own engagement and William's chance of finding true love.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"We read Charlotte Bronte not for exquisite observation of character, not for comedy, not for a philosophic view of life, but for her poetry. Probably that is so with all writers who have, as she has, an overpowering personality, so that . . . they only have to open the door to make themselves felt. There is in them some untamed ferocity perpetually at war with the accepted order of things." --Virginia Woolf<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Charlotte Brontë was born in 1816. The author of four novels, most famously Jane Eyre, she was also a poet and worked as a governess and a teacher. She died in 1855.
