About this book

Set amid the labor unrest and economic hardship of Yorkshire during the Napoleonic Wars, Charlotte Brontë's ambitious social novel follows two contrasting heroines—the spirited, independent heiress Shirley Keeldar and the gentle Caroline Helstone—as love, industry, and class collide. Broader in scope than Jane Eyre, it blends romance with a serious portrait of a community strained by change and the constricted lives of women. Rich in character and social observation, Shirley reveals Brontë's engagement with the great questions of her age. Passionate and thoughtful, it is a compelling Victorian novel of love, work, and the yearning of women for wider, freer lives.

Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855) was an English novelist and the eldest of the three writing Brontë sisters of Yorkshire. Writing first under the male pen name Currer Bell, she drew on her own hard years as a governess and teacher to create heroines of unusual inner strength.
