“Of course, happiness of such shallow origin could be but brief; yet, while it lasted it was genuine and exquisite : a bubble–but a sweet bubble–of real honey-dew.”— Villette, Charlotte Bronte

Villette. Charlotte Brontë. Penguin Classics, 1980 (first published 1853).
After an unspecified family disaster, protagonist Lucy Snowe travels to the fictional city of Villette to teach at an all-girls school where she is unwillingly pulled into both adventure and romance. The novel is celebrated not so much for its plot as its acute tracing of Lucy’s psychology, particularly Brontë’s use of Gothic doubling to represent externally what her protagonist is suffering internally.
