<br/><br/> Written before Jane Eyre but not published until 1857, The Professor draws on Charlotte Brontë’s own experience in Brussels to tell a tender and sometimes gently comic story of the love between a young English teacher and one of his students. The relationship of master and pupil also features in Shirley, a much more ambitious novel set among the Yorkshire dales, in which social unrest during the Napoleonic wars provides a background for the love between heiress Shirley Keeldar and her former tutor. Though linked by themes found also in Villette and Jane Eyre – love, class, female emancipation – these two very different books illustrate a range of experience which may surprise readers only familiar with those more famous novels.<br/><br/>http://www.everymanslibrary.co.uk/all-author.aspx?letter=B&search=&firstname=Charlotte%20&surname=Bront%C3%AB
