Description
1860 Charlotte Bronte Villette Feminism Gender Roles Belgium Early US ed
Most known for her classic novel ‘Jane Eyre,’ Charlotte Brontë wrote this work, ‘Villette’, in 1853. In this, Brontë’s third and final novel, the story follows a protagonist who, after a family disaster, travels to the fictional city of Villette to teach at an all-girls school. This book was enthusiastically celebrated by those supporting gender equality, as Brontë explored gender roles and gender repression in ‘Villette.’ It also accurately describes the lifestyle of living in Belgium in the mid-19th-century.
This 1860 edition was published in New York by Derby and Jackson, a highly rare edition.
