Charlotte Bronte Shirley (Wordsworth Classics) (Wordsworth Collection)
Wordsworth Editions Ltd 1998 1853260649 / 9781853260643 Paperback Like New
"Paperback, Like New, no spine or cover creases, clean, tight, unmarked, This work is set among the cloth mills of the author's native Yorkshire. It portrays the drama of the latter part of the Napoleonic Wars when labour-saving machinery was smashed by desperate, unemployed workers. It explores humanity's efforts to reconcile aspirations with social justice.() The Shirley of the title is a woman of independent means: her friend Caroline is not. Both struggle with what a woman's role is and can be. Their male counterparts - Louis, the powerless tutor, and Robert, his cloth-manufacturing brother - also stand at odds to society's expectations. The novel is set in a period of social and political ferment, featuring class disenfranchisement, the drama of Luddite machine-breaking, and the divisive effects of the Napoleonic Wars. But Charlotte Bront's particular strength lies in exploring the hidden psychological drama of love, loss and the quest for identity. Personal and public a ID: mon0000007878"
