Drawn to the school’s headmaster, Lucy must face the pain of unrequited love and the question of her place in society.&&LBR&&R&&LBR&&RFor &&LI&&RVillette&&L/I&&R, Brontë drew upon her own experiences ten years earlier, when she studied in Brussels and developed an unreciprocated passion for her married teacher. The novel also reflects her devastating sense of loss and isolation after the deaths of her beloved brother and sisters, and her confusion and conflicts over the fame she achieved for having written &&LI&&RJane Eyre&&L/I&&R. But despite Brontë’s heartsick inspiration for the novel, and the grief that haunts its heroine, &&LI&&RVillette&&L/I&&R is a story of triumph, in which Lucy Snowe comes to understand and appreciate her own strength and value. &&LBR&&R&&LBR&&RCelebrated by George Eliot and Virginia Woolf for its strikingly modern psychological depth and examination of women’s roles, &&LI&&RVillette&&L/I&&R is now recognized as Charlotte Brontë’s masterpiece, surpassing even &&LI&&RJane Eyre&&L/I&&R.&&LBR&&R&&L/P&&R&&LP style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&&R&&LSTRONG&&RLaura Engel&&L/B&&R &&L/B&&Ris Assistant Professor in the English Department at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, where she specializes in eighteenth-century British literature and drama.&&L/P&&R&&L/DIV&&R
