Set during the industrial turmoil of early 19th-century Yorkshire, the narrative explores the impact of the Luddite uprisings on the textile industry amid economic hardship. Charlotte Brontë delves into social issues through her characters, highlighting the struggles of individuals against societal changes and the effects of war on their lives. This second novel, following Jane Eyre, reflects Brontë's keen observations of class and gender dynamics during a tumultuous period in British history.
