Summary: Interesting perspective of victorian men.
Comment: Charlotte Bronte is one of the few female authors of the victroian era who chose to appropriate the male voice in a first person narrative. From this perspective, this is a very interesting novel for it presents a women's view of the male psyche, or rather the male pshyche women wish men possessed. William Crimsworth, the novel's hero, is portrayed as young man who is sympathetic toward women and their gender related struggles. However unrealistic this portrayal may be, considering the times, it does suggest that Charlotte was perhaps ahead of counterparts, recognizing the inequality that exited between men and women. Though this is not one of her more popular novels, it should be recognized for its social critique, a critique that is still applicable today
Rating: 4
Summary: Although not one of her best, a glimpse at Bronte's genius.
Comment: The Professor proves to detail humanity in a way only Charlotte Bronte can. She depicts human nature, thought, and emotion brilliantly utilizing the English language to highten the reader's experience of the situation at hand. The Professor was, however, Bronte's first novel and, although controversial at the time, now seems to illustrate how much Bronte had grown as a writer throughout the years. In my opinion, Jane Eyre and Villete were her finest works, but The Professor is still a must read for any Bronte fan.
Rating: 2
Summary: Only for diehard Charlotte Bronte Fans
Comment: Although the spark of creativity is there, it still takes some time to appreciated this novel after reading Janes Eyre. The main character Crimsworth seems to be arrogance, aristocratic, and audacious. This could be Bronte's first take on a male perspective, but is that what she considered the male psyche to be as she portrays on her other novels' male characters. All in all the novel has some worth, but needs getting used to.
