Shirley | Charlotte Bront�

Chapter 2 is a doozy! I love any narrative that reminds us to reflect on labor history and the rights of workers and this chapter is IT. The Luddite uprisings are in full swing and the pitiless capitalist known as Robert Moore is bringing in new machinery, which the workers cannot abide. Despite how the term is used today, the Luddites were not explicitly anti-tech; they were pro-worker, which included highly skilled craftspeople, i.e. artists.

IriDas Now I‘m gonna have to research the term. It sounds like it was co-opted by the ruling class so that when people hear the term they automatically turn away thereby “volunteering” to be kept from the truth. 1h

“If you think, from this prelude, that anything like a romance is preparing for you, reader, you never were more mistaken. Do you anticipate sentiment, and poetry, and reverie? Do you expect passion, and stimulus, and melodrama? Calm your expectations; reduce them to a lowly standard.“

😂🤣 These opening paragraphs are 💯

The Chatham School Affair | Thomas H. Cook

#12BooksOf2025 @TheEllieMo

Forgot to do yesterday's, so here's both:
July: WIVES AND DAUGHTERS w/ the #hashtagbrigade and @BarkingMadread ... I don't think I ever would have read this without them! 🥳
August: THE CHATHAM SCHOOL AFFAIR: I definitely would not have read this if I hadn't been gifted this book by @TheLudicReader. Such a compelling read! 😍

TheEllieMo How lovely that shared and gifted reads have made your list of favourites. Reading is not the solitary experience some people think it is! 13h

dabbe @TheEllieMo So true! 🎯♥️🎯 2h

Notice how I doubled the amount of reading challenges I am currently engaging with! 😜🤣 (#Proust2026 and #HashtagBrigade)

No promises how this will turn out, but I do pledge to be honest when I inevitably fall off and then get back on the wagon. Onward, Littens! 🤓

lil1inblue @Ruthiella 🤣🤣🤣 21h

Clare-Dragonfly I really enjoyed the narrative voice at the beginning of this chapter! The curates, not so much. But she did warn me! 20h

Bklover Curates are a bunch of jerks. Did the people in these churches pay any attention to them?The name Mike I found distracting. Just doesn‘t seem to fit. I am probably nuts. 15h
