Resumen: | "At a time when critical inquiry is being focussed on the relationship between literature and society, Shirley (too often overshadowed by Jane Eyre) becomes especially interesting. In it the author charts the forces moulding society in the period of the Napoleonic Wars -from the economic hardship resulting from bad harvests and the British Government's Orders in Council to the oppression of women and the Luddite riots. |
