The Professor - Arcturus Ornate Classics by Charlotte Brontë Hardcover

Book Synopsis

This elegant hardback edition presents Charlotte Bronte's classic novel The Professor, featuring silver cover embossing and gilded page edges.

The deliberately unromantic hero of The Professor is William Crimsworth - the only time the author used a male narrator - in a story based on her own experiences as a language student in Belgium. The theme was reworked with a woman as the leading character in Villette (1853) and it has always been an interesting point of comparison for keen readers of Charlotte Brontë's work. '... as good as I can write. It contains more pith, more substance, more reality, in my judgment, than much of Jane Eyre.'

This gilded pocket hardback edition has real collector's appeal, featuring the classic, unabridged text, a facsimile of Brontë's signature on the title page, gold gilded page edges and beautifully designed endpapers. Part of the Arcturus Ornate Classics series this book makes wonderful gift for any lover of classic literature.

ABOUT THE SERIES: Arcturus Ornate Classics are beautifully bound editions of iconic literary works across history. These compact, foil-embossed hardbacks are printed using deluxe ivory paper and make the perfect gift.
