A new Persian translation of Shirley has just been published:
by Charlotte Brontë
Translation by لیدا طرزی (Lida Tarzi)
Neyestan Books
A work that combines social commentary with the more private preoccupations of “
Jane Eyre,” “Shirley” demonstrates the full range of Brontë's literary talent. “
Shirley is a revolutionary novel,” wrote Brontë biographer Lyndall Gordon. “
Shirley follows
Jane Eyre as a new exemplar but so much a forerunner of the feminists of the later twentieth century that it is hard to believe in her actual existence in 1811-12. She is a theoretic possibility: what a woman might be if she combined independence and means of her own with intellect. Charlotte Brontë imagined a new form of power, equal to that of men, in a confident young woman [whose] extraordinary freedom has accustomed her to think for herself. “
Shirley” [is] Brontë's most feminist novel.”
