Shirley Keeldar is an orphaned heiress to a fortune, a headstrong, independent and determined young woman. The novel is set in Yorkshire during the industrial depression. The major themes are the explicit historical theme of industrial unrest in early nineteenth century Britain; and the implicit theme of the role of women in society. Shirley is a landowner, an independent heiress whose parents are dead and who lives with Mrs. Pryor, an old governess. Shirley is lively, cheerful and full of ideas about how to use her money, how to help people and very interested in business concerns.

"A great teacher," Jeremy Paxman, BBC's Newsnight.

"Clearly Francis Gilbert is a gifted and charismatic teacher," Philip Pullman, author of Northern Lights.

"Gilbert writes so well that you half-suspect he could give up the day job," The Independent.

Set in Yorkshire during the time of the Luddite unrest-a labor movement that began in 1811-1812 in an effort to protect the interests of the working class-the novel consists of two narrative strands woven together, one involving the struggles of workers against mill owners, and the other involving the romantic entanglements of the two heroines.

The Professor was the first novel by Charlotte Bronte. It was originally written before Jane Eyre and rejected by many publishing houses, but was eventually published posthumously in 1857. The book is the story of a young man, William Crimsworth. It describes his maturation, his loves and his eventual career as a professor at an all-girl's school. The story is based upon Charlotte Bronte's experiences in Brussels, where she studied as a language student in 1842."

Villette is a novel by Charlotte Bronte, published in 1853. After an unspecified family disaster, protagonist Lucy Snowe travels to the fictional city of Villette to teach at an all-girls school where she is unwillingly pulled into both adventure and romance. The novel is celebrated not so much for its plot as its acute tracing of Lucy's psychology, particularly Bronte's use of Gothic doubling to represent externally what her protagonist is suffering internally."

Charlotte Bronte (1816-1855), was an English novelist and poet. She and her two younger sisters, Emily and Anne, make the Brontes perhaps the most remarkable family in the history of English literature. Charlotte's best-known novel is her second, and the first to be published, "Jane Eyre" (1847). (Emily's equally famous novel, Wuthering Heights, was published two months later.) "Jane Eyre" combined the "Bildungsroman" with Gothic romance, a Byronic hero, Christian sensibility, and a distinctly feminine perspective. The novel was a landmark in literary history and remains popular and...
