About
Written in a style both brief and realistic—and not in demand by publishers of her time—The Professor relates the experiences of a young man as he changes his life from dreary ancillary work in the local mills to the position of a professor in Belgium. Charlotte Brontë depicts with honesty the vagaries of a young man abroad.

"Frederick Davidson presents this classic with a dry aesthetic…As the story progresses, his characters take on substance, with layers of personality added progressively in each succeeding chapter. Early on, he allows some of Brontë's warmth and feminine understanding to color the performance, in the way of delicate touches of color added by hand to old sepia photographs."

"Read by Davidson, this text is given life and color with an array of different tones and inflections. [It is] easy to understand and believable…[as] Davidson adeptly brings to life the pre-Jane Eyre tale."
