description: "Constantin Georges Romain Heger, also spelled Héger was a Belgian professor and literary figure of the Victorian era. He is best remembered today for his relationship with Charlotte Brontë during the 1840s. Some of the characters featured in Charlotte's work, especially Mr. Rochester in Jane Eyre (1847), were inspired by him, and her two other novels, Villette (1853) and The Professor (1857) were inspired by her experience as a student under Heger."
