Description

Shirley was the second published novel by Charlotte Bronte, after Jane Eyre.

It is a social novel set against the backdrop of the Luddite uprisings in Yorshire after the Napoleonic Wars, particularly in the depressed textile industry.

The novel's heroine is given a boy's name by her father, who expected a son.

The novel's popularity turned the distinctly male name Shirley into a distinctly female one.
