North and South
Gaskell Elizabeth
Having grown up in London and rural southern
England, Margaret Hale moves with her father to the northern industrial city of
Milton. She is shocked by the poverty she encounters and dismayed by the
unsympathetic attitude of the textile-mill owner John Thornton, whose factory
workers are engaged in an acrimonious strike. Against this backdrop of social
unrest, the relationship between the two is tumultuous, and it takes further
upheaval and tragedy for them to see each other in a different light.
First serialized in Dickens's magazine
Household Words in the same period as Hard Times, North and South shares its
famous counterpart's concern with the inequality and hardship generated by the
Industrial Revolution in northern England, while at the same time creating one
of the nineteenth century's most memorable and engaging female protagonists in
Margaret Hale.
