Heavy Paperback (2 to 4 lbs)

New York

Fleeing an unhappy past in England, penniless Lucy Snowe starts life anew at a boarding school in cosmopolitan Villette, a stand-in for Brussels. The mystery, jealousy, and love that she finds there give Charlotte Brontë's final novel much of the Gothic tone and psychological incisiveness that prompted George Eliot, Virginia Woolf, and others to call Villette her finest work. Based on Brontë's own experiences in Brussels and her attachment to a brilliant teacher with a strong and eccentric personality, this superb romantic novel is an exceptional example of how a great writer transforms the ordinary events of her life into vivid and exciting art. Villette represents the inimitable Brontë genius by giving us a masterful portrait of Lucy Snowe, who belongs beside the great nineteenth-century literary heroines--and who will strongly appeal to modern readers.

With an Introduction and Notes by Dr Sally Minogue, Department of English, Canterbury Christ Church University College.

Based on Charlotte Brontë's personal experience as a teacher in Brussels, Villette is a moving tale of repressed feelings and subjection to cruel circumstance and position, borne with heroic fortitude.

Rising above the frustrations of confinement within a rigid social order, it is also the story of a woman's right to love and be loved.

"Villette" is the story of Lucy Snowe, a young Englishwoman who travels to the fictional French town of Villette to teach at a girls' boarding school. Set in the 19th century, the novel follows Lucy's experiences as she navigates the challenges of isolation, identity, and love in a foreign land. As she grapples with her own feelings of loneliness and longing, Lucy encounters a cast of complex characters and confronts the social and cultural norms of Victorian society. A powerful exploration of female independence and resilience, "Villette" is a timeless tale of self-discovery and personal growth.
