Riassunto

A spirited heiress marries the brother of a Yorkshire mill owner whose use of labor-saving devices in his factory lead to unemployment and workmen's riots during the early 1800s in Shirley, and in The Professor, a Yorkshire millworker escapes a humiliating clerkship to teach in a Belgian girls' school and falls in love with a charismatic teacher.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

“We read Charlotte Bronte not for exquisite observation of character, not for comedy, not for a philosophic view of life, but for her poetry. Probably that is so with all writers who have, as she has, an overpowering personality, so that . . . they only have to open the door to make themselves felt. There is in them some untamed ferocity perpetually at war with the accepted order of things.” —Virginia Woolf

L'autore:

Charlotte Brontë was born in 1816. The author of four novels, most famously Jane Eyre, she was also a poet and worked as a governess and a teacher. She died in 1855.
