Annotation

Miss Brodie, an eccentric teacher at a private girls' school, teaches her impressionable students much more than what is required by the curriculum: among other things, art, culture, and politics, with an emphasis on fascism. Suspected of carrying on an affair with the music master at the school, she is eventually forced to retire from teaching, not because of her bad example, but because of her enthusiasm for Hitler, Mussolini, and Franco--particularly after a student, encouraged by Miss Brodie to fight for Franco's cause, is killed in Spain. Miss Brodie's story is told from the perspective of Sandy, the student who sees Miss Brodie for exactly what she is. First published in 1961 in The New Yorker magazine, THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE was a stage play starring Vanessa Redgrave, and later made into an acclaimed movie with Maggie Smith.
