Shirley Chapter 1 - Levitical
from The Brontë Library Hosted by The Brontë Sisters
In which the modest and unvarnished lives of three young curates in early nineteenth-century Yorkshire are unfolded through their convivial, yet often contentious, gatherings in a humble clothier’s parlour, revealing much about their characters and peculiarities. The arrival of a stern, middle-aged cleric bearing urgent news introduces a somber reflection on the tensions stirring in the surrounding community, as visions and rumours of unrest cast a shadow upon their tranquil parish life.
