Set during the Luddite uprising of 1812, Shirley takes place in the fictitional parishes of Briarfield and Nunneley, which Charlotte Brontë based on Birstall and Hartshead in the Spen Valley in Yorkshire.
The setting plays such a powerful role in Emily Brontë's epic tale of star-crossed lovers, at times it seems to be one of the central characters. Wuthering Heights takes place in the windswept moors of Yorkshire, in a fictional village, not unlike the Brontës hometown, Haworth.
