About the book

Charlotte Brontë's Villette follows Lucy Snowe, a quiet and independent young Englishwoman who travels abroad after finding herself alone and without prospects. She eventually becomes a teacher at a girls' school in the fictional continental city of Villette. Beneath Lucy's restrained manner lies an intense emotional life shaped by loneliness, love, jealousy and the desire for independence. Brontë uses Lucy's experiences to explore isolation, identity, religion and the limited opportunities available to women. Psychological, atmospheric and deeply personal, Villette is often regarded as one of Brontë's most accomplished novels.
