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.

El otro día, al revisar mis papeles, hallé en mi mesa la siguiente copia de una carta que envié, un año ha, a un viejo conocido del colegio.Querido Charles:Creo que cuando tú y yo estuvimos juntos en Eton no éramos lo que podría llamarse personajes populares; tú eras un ser sarcástico, observador, perspicaz y frío; no intentaré trazar mi propio retrato, pero no recuerdo que fuera especialmente atractivo, ¿y tú? Desconozco qué magnetismo animal nos unió; desde luego, yo jamás albergué por ti sentimiento alguno que se pareciera al de Pilades y Orestes, y tengo razones para creer que, por tu parte, estabas igualmente lejos de cualquier sentimiento romántico. No obstante, fuera de las horas lectivas, estábamos siempre juntos, charlando y paseando; cuando el tema de conversación eran nuestros compañeros o nuestros maestros, nos comprendíamos mutuamente, y cuando yo recurría a alguna expresión de afecto, a un aprecio vago por algo excelente o hermoso, tanto si era de naturaleza animada como inanimada, tu sardónica frialdad no me impresionaba; entonces, como ahora, me sentía superior a tal freno. Ha pasado mucho tiempo desde que te escribí y más aún desde que nos vimos; el otro día, hojeando casualmente un periódico de tu condado, mis ojos fueron a dar con tu nombre. Empecé a pensar en los viejos tiempos, a repasar los acontecimientos ocurridos desde que nos separamos y me senté para escribir esta carta; no sé cuáles han sido tus ocupaciones, pero oirás, si decides escucharme, cómo el mundo me ha tratado a mí.

Aquel día no fue posible salir de paseo. Por la mañana jugamos durante una hora entre los matorrales, pero después de comer (Mrs. Reed comía temprano cuando no había gente de fuera), el frío viento invernal trajo consigo unas nubes tan sombrías y una lluvia tan recia, que toda posibilidad de salir se disipó. Yo me alegré. No me gustaban los paseos largos, sobre todo en aquellas tardes invernales. Regresábamos de ellos al anochecer, y yo volvía siempre con los dedos agarrota-dos, con el corazón entristecido por los regaños de Bessie, la niñera, y humillada por la consciencia de mi inferioridad física respecto a Eliza, John y Georgiana Reed. Los tres, Eliza, John y Georgiana, se agruparon en el salón en torno a su madre, reclinada en el sofá, al lado del fuego. Rodeada de sus hijos (que en aquel instante no disputaban ni alborotaban), mi tía parecía sentirse perfectamente feliz. A mí me dispensó de la obligación de unirme al grupo, diciendo que se veía en la necesidad de mantenerme a distancia hasta que Bessie le dijera, y ella lo comprobara, que yo me esforzaba en adquirir mejores modales, en ser una niña obediente. Mientras yo no fuese más sociable, más despejada, menos huraña y más agradable en todos los sentidos, Mrs. Reed se creía obligada a excluirme de los privilegios reservados a los niños obedientes y buenos.

Mi madrina vivía en una hermosa casa en el antiguo y cuidado pueblo de Bretton. La familia de su marido residía allí desde hacía generaciones y llevaba, de hecho, el nombre de su lugar natal: los Bretton de Bretton; desconozco si por coincidencia o porque algún remoto antepasado había sido un personaje lo bastante destacado para legar el apellido a su comunidad. Cuando era pequeña, iba a Bretton un par de veces al año, y disfrutaba mucho con aquellas visitas. La casa y sus moradores me agradaban especialmente. Las habitaciones amplias y tranquilas, los muebles bien conservados, los grandes ventanales, el balcón que daba a una vieja calle, muy bonita, donde siempre parecía ser domingo o día festivo, tan apacible era su atmósfera, tan limpio su pavimento; todas esas cosas me encantaban. Una niña en una casa llena de adultos suele ser objeto de mimos y atenciones, y yo los recibía, de una manera reposada, de la señora Bretton, que se había quedado viuda antes de que yo la conociera y tenía un hijo; su marido, médico, había muerto cuando era todavía una mujer joven y hermosa.
