«Villette» is the Victorian novel by Charlotte Brontë, published by Oxford University Press in paperback (592 pages, in English).
Lucy Snowe flees her past in England and works as a teacher at Madame Beck's school in Villette. In that rigid social environment, she must confront the headmistress's interference and her feelings for Professor Paul Emanuel. Inspired by Brontë's stay in Brussels, the work combines introspection, irony and Gothic atmosphere.
The novel was originally published in 1853. This Oxford World's Classics edition reproduces the text of the Clarendon Edition, edited by Margaret Smith and Herbert Rosengarten with an introduction by Tim Dolin.
For readers of Victorian classics and coming-of-age novels with a female protagonist, interested in psychological introspection.
