The Shirley of the title is a woman of independent means; her friend Caroline is not. Both struggle with what a woman`s role is & can be. Their male counterparts
- Louis, the powerless tutor, & Robert, his cloth-manufacturing brother
- also stand at odds to society`s expectations. The novel is set in a period of social & political ferment, featuring class disenfranchisement, the drama of Luddite machine-breaking, & the divisive effects of the Napoleonic Wars.
