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 Brontë'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 heroine determined to preserve an independent spirit in the face of adverse circumstances.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHelen M. Cooper's new introduction places the novel in the context of Brontë's life and career and argues for the importance of the novel as an exploration of imperialism.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'I am only just returned to a sense of real wonder about me, for I have been reading Villette'\u003cbr\u003e\nGeorge Eliot\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'Her finest novel'\u003cbr\u003e\nVirginia Woolf\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780241198964\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.1 x 5.4 x 1.5 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51212592218416,"sku":"VarietyBook_9780241198964","price":975.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/81E_IML4iCL.jpg?v=1774236817","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/villette-2","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
