"Shirley" is Charlotte Bronte's second novel and is set against the backdrop of the Luddite uprising against the Yorkshire textile industry in England during the industrial depression that followed the Napoleonic Wars and the War of 1812. First published in 1849, the novel is the story of mill operator Robert Moore, whose business is troubled by the economic climate; his distant cousin Caroline Helstone, for whom Robert has affections; rich heiress and landowner Shirley Keeldar; and Robert's brother Louis, a poor tutor, whom Shirley has fallen in love with. "Shirley" is a classically romantic tale that deals with the timely themes of industrial unrest in Britain at the beginning of the 19th century and the role of women both at home and in business. The shy and timid Caroline and the independent and headstrong Shirley are both deeply affected by the decisions of the men in their lives and by changing social roles and expectations for women. They both must grapple with whether they are free to marry for love or if money will control yet another aspect of their lives. Bronte's popular novel is both an insightful social commentary and a mature and touching portrait of women trying to follow their romantic desires in an increasingly complicated world. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Versione Integrale.Shirley un "romanzo sociale" del 1849 pubblicato dopo il primo fortunato romanzo della stessa autrice, Jane Eyre (che peraltro era stato pubblicato, come questo, sotto lo pseudonimo di Currer Bell). Il romanzo ambientato nello Yorkshire negli anni 1811-1812 e tratta della depressione industriale dovuta alla guerra Napoleonica, con la conseguente reazione operaia sfociante nel luddismo. Ci nonostante non manca l'intreccio di relazione, e le due protagoniste femminili, alle prese con ci che la societ imponeva alla donna in quel periodo, sono, ancor pi che Jane Eyre, portatrice dei germi dell'emancipazione femminile. Mentre Charlotte stava scrivendo questo romanzo, morirono tre dei suoi fratelli, fra cui la sorella Emily, autrice di Cime Tempestose, e l'unica sorella rimastale, Anne. Si ritiene che il personaggio di Caroline si basi sulla sorella Anne e che la scrittrice, che aveva inizialmente progettato di far morire quel personaggio, ne cambi poi le vicende, dopo la reale morte della sorella. L'altra protagonista femminile, Shirley (nome che solo dopo questo romanzo divenne un nome femminile; prima era considerato un nome maschile), ispirato all'altra sorella, Emily, o meglio "a quella che Emily sarebbe potuta essere se fosse nata in una famiglia ricca". Il personaggio di Mrs Pryor ispirato alla direttrice della scuola che Charlotte frequent , prima come allieva, poi come insegnante.
"Shirley" from Charlotte Bront . English novelist and poet, the eldest of the three Bront sisters (1816-1855).
“Revolutionary...Brontë's most feminist novel.”-Lyndall Gordon “Charlotte Brontë has us by the hand, forces us along her road, makes us sense what she sees, never leaves us for a moment or allows us to forget her.”-Virginia Woolf Shirley, the second published novel from Charlotte Brontë, is a propulsive social narrative that exposes the discord between the sexes, classes, and economic structure of early 19th century England. Set in 1811-1812 during the strife of the industrial revolution, this classic novel is a story of love struggling against social unrest and the conventions of the roles of women. When Robert Moore, a struggling mill owner, decides to replace many of his employees with a new piece of machinery, a group of protesters destroys it before it is delivered. As the problems with his mill mount, he starts to become despondent. His cousin Caroline, a frequent visitor to the Moore home is infatuated with Robert, yet he also is inaccessible to her desires. When Caroline is eventually forbidden to visit the Moore home by her overbearing uncle, she is resolved to spend her life doing charitable work. Through her uncle, Caroline is introduced to Shirley Keeldar, a wealthy and independent woman who wants to donate her money to aid the poor. They become very close friends, and eventually Caroline is convinced that Shirley and Robert will marry. When the threats from laid-off mill workers increase, and soon after the mill is attacked, the conflicts of both love and class explode. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Shirley is both modern and readable.
