Set in the industrialising England of the Napoleonic wars, a period of bad harvests, Luddite riots, and economic unrest, Shirley is the story of two contrasting heroines and the men they love. One is the shy Caroline Helstone, trapped in the oppressive atmosphere of a Yorkshire rectory, whose life represents the plight of single women in the 19th century. The other is the vivacious Shirley Keeldar, who inherits a local estate and whose wealth liberates her from convention.

lovely collection of poems
Really interesting collection of poems, wonderfully narrated. I appreciated the different narrators voicing the different poets. Each narrator had a charming voice. The poems were lovely and thought-provoking.

A poor Read.
it is poorly written. It is like shot gun all over the place. It seems as though it was written with out an out line.
On the plus side one learns a lot of the social history of the time.
