Description

Villette is a powerful and moving novel about isolation and unrequited love. Lucy Snowe, the protagonist, sets sail from England to find employment in a girls' boarding school in Villette, where she struggles to maintain her self-possession amidst unruly pupils, a suspicious headmaster, and her own complex feelings. Charlotte Brontë's last and most autobiographical novel is a study of the pain of unrequited love, narrated by a heroine determined to preserve an independent spirit. For over seventy years, Penguin has been publishing authoritative texts of classic literature, including this edition of Villette, which features introductions and notes from distinguished scholars. With its exploration of isolation and the human experience, Villette remains a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in literary fiction.
