Villette by Charlotte Bronte (English) Paperback Book

Description: Villette by Charlotte Bronte, Helen Benedict, Adriana Trigiani Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Charlotte Brontes most mature work, now in a beautiful new package.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 Brontes 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 Brontes 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 Bronte 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 a New Introduction by Adriana Trigiani and an Afterword by Helen Benedict Author Biography Charlotte Bronte (1816-55) was the third of the three famous Bronte sisters. Along with their brother, they grew up in the isolated Yorkshire village of Haworth with no real schooling and little care. The Bronte sisters tried for ten years to make their living as governesses. Finding the occupation hateful, they decided to set up their own school. To prepare themselves, Charlotte and Emily set off for Brussels to learn French and German. Back in Haworth, Charlotte and her sisters published a volume of poems; though only two copies were sold, the Brontes were stimulated to attempt novels. Emilys Wuthering Heights and Annes Agnes Grey found publishers, but Charlottes offering was returned with the suggestion she try again. The manuscript of her next novel, Jane Eyre, was accepted overnight and became an immediate success. Shirley, Villette, and The Professor complete the tally of her novels.Adriana Trigiani is an award-winning playwright, television writer, and documentary filmmaker.
