内容简介

故事背景是19世纪初英国纺织工人自发捣毁机器而引起的产业界的骚动。书中的雪莉是艾米莉的写照，作者将艾米莉强悍、独特的性格借用过来，塑造了一个神采奕奕，充满活力的女主人公。故事主要描述雪莉、卡罗琳、罗伯特•穆尔、路易斯•穆尔四人之间的爱恨纠葛。雪莉是当地名门菲尔特府的唯一女继承人。她豁达豪放、热情善良，一边帮助罗伯特引进机器，一边又十分同情失业的工人，在双方产生矛盾斗争时给工人送去慰问的食物。她追求不以社会地位和财产为标准，真正建立在互相尊重、平等相爱基础上的纯真爱情，毫不留情地讽刺因为工厂机器被工人砸毁后向她求婚的罗伯特•穆尔，毅然决然地拒绝家财万贯的菲利普•南尼利男爵的求婚，毫无顾忌地爱上自己的家庭教师路易斯•穆尔，最终与路易斯结了婚。

Struggling manufacturer Robert Moore has introduced labour saving machinery to his Yorkshire mill, arousing a ferment of unemployment and discontent among his workers. Robert considers marriage to the wealthy and independent Shirley Keeldar to solve his financial woes, yet his heart lies with his cousin Caroline, who, bored and desperate, lives as a dependent in her uncle's home with no prospect of a career. Shirley, meanwhile, is in love with Robert's brother, an impoverished tutor - a match opposed by her family. As industrial unrest builds to a potentially fatal pitch, can the four be reconciled? Set during the Napoleonic wars at a time of national economic struggles, Shirley (1849) is an unsentimental, yet passionate depiction of conflict between classes, sexes and generations.
