Written after the deaths of Branwell, Emily and Anne, she found it a struggle to finish and in her portraits of Shirley Keeldar and Caroline Helstone Charlote Brontë poured out her feelings for her dead sister. Nevertheless, it is a historical novel which depicts an uneasy as well as Charlotte Brontë’s belief that the denial of the world of feeling is responsible for much of society’s suffering.
Tense, romantic, atmospheric, ringing with imaginative power, Charlotte Brontë’s story of the two women and the men they loved grips until the last page.

Kim był Currer Bell? Na wypadek jakiegoś konkursu zapamiętajcie to nazwisko - to nikt inny tylko Charlotte Brontë we własnej osobie. Pod takim pseudonimem wydawała swoje powieści, pod takim też mianem po raz pierwszy na brytyjskim rynku ukazała się "Shirley". Jest to książka, która nie trzyma poziom...
Unfortunately, this is no Jane Eyre. But if you want to spend 25 hours listening to a marriage plot where the heroines waste away because of unrequited love, then this might be the book for you. I was disappointed at the sexism in this book. Jane Eyre is such a great heroine and one of the things...
Originally posted at Gypsy Reviews.Shirley is undoubtedly a very unique novel, unlike Brontë’s other novels, it focuses more on social and political issues rather than the story.
