      Synopsis

      Mary Gaskell's North and South examines the nature of social authority and obedience and provides an insightful description of the role of middle class women in nineteenth century society. Through the story of Margaret Hale, a southerner who moves to the northern industrial town of Milton, Gaskell skillfully explores issues of class and gender, as Margaret's sympathy for the town mill workers conflicts with her growing attraction to the mill owner, John Thornton. This new and revised expanded edition sets the novel in the context of Victorian social and medical debate.

      July 11, 2009: North and South always delights the reader with a glimpse into the north of England during the Industrial Revolution. The characters show the stereotypes of the day: the North was thought to be always busy, always working, always thinking of money; while the South was thought to be more relaxed and sedate. The resolution is very satisfying for the romantic.

      Sooooo GOOD!!by Anonymous

      June 06, 2009: This book has become one of my favorites. It's up there with Pride and Prejudice. The guy is a true hero in this book.

      I Also Recommend: Chronicles of Narnia Boxed Set, Daddy-Long-Legs, Eight Cousins, Pride and Prejudice (Barnes & Noble Classics Series), Scarlet Pimpernel (Barnes & Noble Classics Series).
