What is North And South about?

Brought to you by Manor House Books, this classic novel has been adapted for a modern readership by bestselling historical romance author D.G. Rampton.North and South, by Elizabeth Gaskell, was written at the request of Charles Dickens and published anonymously in serial form in his magazine Household Words from 1854 to 1855, and then published in book form in 1855. The story, which explores the contrast between the values of rural southern England and the industrial north, has a psychological complexity that anticipates George Eliot’s later novels of provincial life.The novel is set in the fictional industrial town of Milton in the north, where Margaret Hale settles with her parents after being uprooted from her comfortable home in Hampshire after her father leaves the church. Witnessing the brutal reality of the industrial revolution, and sympathising with the plight of local mill workers, she clashes with mill-owner and self-made man John Thornton, while fighting a growing attraction to him. Gaskell’s novel cleverly pairs personal relations with social issues, creating one of the most unique heroines in Victorian literature.
