FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description I am only just returned to a sense of the real world about me, for I have been reading Villette, a still more wonderful book than Jane Eyre. George Eliot Lucy Snowe, in flight from an unhappy past, leaves England and finds work as a teacher in Madame Becks school in Villette. Strongly drawn to the fieryautocratic schoolmaster Monsieur Paul Emanuel, Lucy is compelled by Madame Becks jealous interference to assert her right to love and be loved. Based in part on Charlotte Brontës experience in Brussels ten years earlier, Villette (1853) is a cogent and dramatic exploration of a womansresponse to the challenge of a constricting social environment. Its deployment of imagery comparable in power to that of Emily Brontës Wuthering Heights, and its use of comedyDSironic or exuberantDSin the service of an ultimately sombre vision, make Villette especially appealing to the modern reader.
