Shirley. The Town

The literary legacy of Charlotte Brontë has entered the treasury of English culture, gaining recognition far beyond the borders of England. Special success came to her novel "Jane Eyre," which remains one of the most popular works of the 19th... century. This edition includes two equally fascinating novels by Charlotte Brontë: "Shirley" and "The Town." The novel "Shirley," published in 1849, immediately achieved success. It tells the story of two very different friends: Caroline, a sweet, dreamy girl from a clerical family, and the brilliant, strong-willed aristocrat Shirley. Published in 1853, "The Town" was written during a difficult period for the writer, overshadowed by the untimely death of her brother and both sisters, Emily and Anne. Its main character, Lucy Snow, in her quest for independence, looks for a position as a governess in a boarding school for young ladies, located in a small town. The texts are accompanied by illustrations from original English editions of the 19th century.
