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 Bronte'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
Bronte'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 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.
