Zustand: Good. Shirley is Charlotte Bront:e e's only historical novel and her most topical one. Written at a time of social unrest, it is set during the period of the Napoleonic Wars, when economic hardship led to riots in the woollen district of Yorkshire. A mill-owner, Robert Moore, is determined to introduce new machinery despite fierce opposition from his workers; he ignores their suffering, and puts his own life at risk .Robert sees marriage to the wealthy Shirley Keeldar as the solution to his difficulties, but he loves his cousin Caroline. She suffers misery and frustration, and Shirley has her own ideas about the man she will choose to marry. The friendship between the two women, and the contrast between their situations, is at the heart of this compelling novel, which is suffused with Bront'':'s deep yearning for an earlier time.; LET OP LET OP !!! ander omslag, Penguin repr. 1975.

See the various entries in the Oxford DNB. Typed carbon copy. 1p, foolscap 8vo. Text complete, on aged piece of carbon paper, worn and chipped at edges. No signature. Addressed at foot to 'E. F. Benson Esq.' Thirty-one lines of text. He begins by stating that Benson, in his 'work on Charlotte Brontë', has 'made a very correct study of her'. After discussing a point about Branwell Bronte, he states: 'We cannot rely on Charlotte's assertion that he knew nothing whatever of their ventures in publishing. I am just busy preparing the "Life and Letters" for the Shakespeare Head edition, and have found from Charlotte's letters and other associated facts that she did not always tell the truth.' She describes the 'most glaring instance', concerning 'her references to Balzac's works', and adds that there are ' other instances of deceit in her correspondence with Ellen Nussey'. In the final paragraph he states that his 'old friend Mr. C. W. Hatfield [of the Bronte Society] will not hear a wrong word about Charlotte, and pleads with me to modify my editorial notes concerning the influence of Branwell, whilst my colleagues and editorial chief T. J. Wise is quite impartial, though he would like Charlotte's reputation upheld. In consequence of this I am venturing to send you the introductory portion (in rough galley form) of Chapter XIV in "Life and Letters" which I have headed "The Influence of Branwell." I wonder if you would be good enough to look this over and give me your opinion and criticism of it.'.
