This powerfully moving psychological study was acclaimed by George Eliot as
"a still more wonderful book than Jane Eyre," and by Virginia Woolf as
"Brontė's finest novel." Its remarkably modern heroine abandons her native England for the freedom and independence -- and insecurity -- of life as a schoolteacher in Belgium.

Arguably Bronte's most refined and deeply felt work, Villette draws on her experiences as a student in Brussels as well as her profound loneliness following the deaths of her three siblings. Lucy Snowe, the narrator of Villette, flees from an unhappy past in England to begin a new life as a teacher at a French boarding school in the great cosmopolitan capital of Villette. Soon Lucy's struggle for independence is overshadowed by both her friendship with a worldly English doctor and her feelings for an autocratic schoolmaster. Bronte's strikingly modern heroine must decide if there is any man in her society with whom she can live and still be free.
