Shirley, published in 1849, was Charlotte Brontë¿s second novel after Jane Eyre. Published under her pseudonym of ¿Currer Bell,¿ it differs in several respects from that earlier work. It is written in the third person with an omniscient narrator, rather than the first-person of Jane Eyre, and incorporates the themes of industrial change and the plight of unemployed workers. It also features strong pleas for the recognition of women¿s intellect and right to their independence of thought and action.Set in the West Riding of Yorkshire during the Napoleonic period of the early 19th Century, the novel describes the confrontations between textile manufacturers and organized groups of workers protesting the introduction of mechanical looms. Three characters stand out: Robert Moore, a mill-owner determined to introduce modern methods despite sometimes violent opposition; his young cousin Caroline Helstone, who falls deeply in love with Robert; and Shirley Keeldar, a rich heiress who comes to live in the estate of Fieldhead, on whose land Robert¿s mill stands. Robert¿s business is in trouble, not so much because of the protests of the workers but because of a government decree which prevents him selling his finished cloth overseas during the duration of the war with Napoleon. He receives a loan from Miss Keeldar, and her interest in him seems to be becoming a romantic one, much to the distress of Caroline, who pines away for lack of any sign of affection from Robert.Shirley Keeldar is a remarkable female character for the time: strong, very independent-minded, dismissive of much of the standard rules of society, and determined to decide on her own future. Interestingly, up to this point, the name ¿Shirley¿ was almost entirely a male name; Shirley¿s parents had hoped for a boy. Such was the success of Brontë¿s novel, however, that it became increasingly popular as a female name and is now almost exclusively so.Although never as popular or successful as the more classically romantic Jane Eyre, Shirley is nevertheless now highly regarded by critics.

Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë wrote during the 19th century, a time when women's contributions to literature were often overlooked or dismissed. Initially, they published their works under pseudonyms (Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell) to navigate the societal prejudices against female authors. Their poetry and novels explored complex emotions, challenged social norms, and offered profound insights into human nature.As poets, the Brontë sisters exhibited a shared fascination with nature, especially the wild and desolate landscapes of their native Yorkshire. Their works often incorporated vivid descriptions of nature as a backdrop for exploring themes of love, loss, identity, and the human psyche. The sisters'poetry is marked by their individual voices, with Emily's evocative and passionate expressions, Charlotte's introspection and emotional depth, and Anne's moral and reflective tone.Despite their relatively short lives, the Brontë sisters left an enduring legacy through their writings. Their poetry and novels continue to captivate readers worldwide, and their contributions to literature have been recognized as remarkable examples of literary talent and feminist thought during their time and beyond.

Mentre nello Yorkshire dilagano le proteste contro l’avvento della meccanizzazione del lavoro, l’imprenditore tessile Robert Moore conduce una florida azienda. Diviso fra i contrasti con gli operai e la convivenza con la sorella Hortense, egli non sa che Caroline, la cugina a cui Hortense insegna il francese, ha un debole per lui. Quest’ultima stringe ben presto amicizia con la ricca ereditiera Shirley, vera proprietaria della fabbrica e vecchia conoscenza di Robert. L’intricato triangolo amoroso finisce per incrociarsi con gli eventi della Storia, quando Moore scampa ad un attentato. Considerato un affresco vividissimo delle lotte sociali di metà Ottocento – e del luddismo, in particolare – "Shirley" è anche un vibrante inno all’amore, in un’epoca in cui, purtroppo, morte e sofferenza erano all’ordine del giorno. Un’opera inestimabile: nessun vero amante della grande letteratura potrebbe resistere al suo fascino senza tempo... Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855) nasce a Thornton, figlia di un pastore protestante e di un’insegnante. È la terzogenita di sei figli: le due sorelle minori Emily ed Anne saranno a loro volta scrittrici (autrici, rispettivamente, di "Cime tempestose" e "Agnes Grey"). Nel corso della sua vita assisterà alla morte di ogni membro della famiglia, con l’esclusione del padre. Nel 1842, dopo aver lavorato come insegnante ed istitutrice privata, si reca con la sorella Emily a Bruxelles, con l’intento di studiare il francese. Fra il 1847 e il 1853 dà alle stampe i suoi capolavori ("Jane Eyre" "Shirley" e "Villette"), per poi assecondare il volere paterno e sposare il reverendo Nicholls (1854). Muore poco dopo, a causa di complicazioni legate alla prima gravidanza.
