Set in the mid-19th century, and written from the author's first-hand experience, North and South follows the story of the heroine's from the movement tranquil but moribund ways of southern England to the vital but turbulent north. Elizabeth Gaskell's skilful narrative uses an unusual love story to show how personal lives and public were woven together in a newly industrial society.
This is a tale of hard-won triumphs - of rational thought over prejudice and care of humane over blind deference to the market. Readers in the twenty-first century will find themselves absorbed as this Victorian novel traces the origins of problems and possibilities which are still a challenging hundred and fifty years later: the complex relationships, public and private, between men and women of different classes.
