This work, Charlotte Bronte's second, is set in the England of the early 1800's, which was beset with political and social changes, represented by the Industrial Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars. And there is much to do with those changes in values from those of the past. But at its core, this novel is about romance. And the plot primarily follows the struggles and triumphs of two couples, the two brothers Moore, Louis and Robert, and Caroline Helstone and Shirley Keeldar. The final scenes capture the essence of the change in this world, and one hopes for the more philanthropic and egalitarian world pictured there, but at the same time one laments the loss of a world of magic and of a respect for natural beauty.

thank you, Jim. Actually you didn't have to quote the entire first post with the MW and all Only the summary is enough for me. As you can see, I edited your previous post to include only the summary. I will now include it in the "back-office" in the official template which will be use later on in cataloguing.
I love the summary Thanks
And I see you have the final section ready will PL today still so this can get catalogued.

and it's done and dusted !!! PL ok. A bit of a strange narrative ending. All the "happily ever after" accounts of the people in the book. But it was funny to also get to know more about the minor characters.
I liked the book and thank you again for taking this up and finishing it.
I'll proceed to the cataloging process now, yay ! Will post the link once it's done, but it will take a while, since the files are so long.
