Just finished rereading Charlotte Brontë's Villette, & this time round, its ending strikes me as one of the most romantic ever, maybe b/c I inhabit an age of hiring freezes & academic precarity.
M. Paul loves Lucy Snowe, & to demonstrate it, he gives her a classroom in which to teach.
Swoon! #19thc

Illustration to Villette--showing a young woman in 19th century dress, swept by the wind, in front of the double door of an imposing building; the words "Pensionnat de Demoiselles" carved above the doorway.
