书籍简介

露西·斯诺既没有朋友也没有家人，她从英国启航去维莱特小镇上的一所女子寄宿学校找工作。在那里，面对不守规矩的学生、校长贝克夫人的敌意，以及她对学校的英国博士，独裁的保罗·伊曼纽尔教授先后的复杂感情，她努力保持冷静。根据她在布鲁塞尔当家庭教师时的不幸经历，她写了《夏洛蒂·勃朗特》的自传体小说，这是她一生中后一部出版的小说，是一部关于孤独以及单恋的痛苦，非常感人，讲述的是一个在逆境中决心保持独立精神的女主人公。海伦·m·库珀的新导语将小说置于勃朗特生活和事业的背景下，并论证了小说作为探索帝国主义的重要性。

With neither friends nor family, Lucy Snowe sets sail from England to find employment in a girls' boarding school in the small town of Villette. There, she struggles to retain her self-possession in the face of unruly pupils, the hostility of headmistress Madame Beck, and her own complex feelings - first for the school's English doctor and then for the dictatorial professor Paul Emanuel. Drawing on her own deeply unhappy experiences as a governess in Brussels, Charlotte Bronte'sautobiographical novel, the last published during her lifetime, is a powerfully moving study of loneliness and isolation, and the pain of unrequited love, narrated by a hero determined to preserve an independent spirit in the face of adverse circumstances.Helen M. Cooper's new introduction places the novel in the context of Bronte's life and career and argues for the importance of the novel as an exploration of imperialism.

Charlotte Bronte was born in Yorkshire in 1816. As a child, she was sent to boarding school, where two of her sisters died; she was subsequently educated at home with her younger siblings, Emily, Branwell and Anne. As an adult, Charlotte worked as a governess and taught in a school in Brussels. Jane Eyre was first published in 1847 under the pen-name Currer Bell, and was followed by Shirley (1848), Villette (1853) and The Professor (posthumously published in 1857). In 1854 Charlotte married her father's curate, Arthur Bell Nicholls. She died in March of the following year.
