Description
Shirley is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that explores the complex relationships between class, sex, and generation in 19th-century England. Against the backdrop of industrial unrest and national economic struggles during the Napoleonic wars, the story revolves around Robert Moore's desire to secure his financial future through marriage to the wealthy Shirley Keeldar. However, Robert's heart belongs to Caroline, his cousin who lives a life of dependency with no prospects for career advancement. Meanwhile, Shirley finds herself torn between her love for an impoverished tutor and the societal expectations that surround her. As tensions build, can these four individuals find a way to reconcile their differences? Published by Penguin Publishing Group, this edition of Shirley represents a significant work in the English-speaking world's literary heritage, offering authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors.
