Mary Barton es la primera novela de Elizabeth Gaskell, una obra aclamada basada en el asesinato real, en 1831, de un propietario de un molino progresista. La historia sigue a Mary Barton, hija de un hombre implicado en el asesinato, a través de su adolescencia, cuando sufre los avances del dueño del molino, y más tarde a través del amor y el matrimonio. Ambientada en Manchester, entre 1837 y 1842, pinta una imagen poderosa y conmovedora de la vida de la clase trabajadora en la Inglaterra victoriana. La novela explora las dificultades económicas y físicas que enfrenta la comunidad obrera de Manchester, así como las tensiones entre los dueños de las fábricas y los trabajadores.
Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell, often referred to as Mrs Gaskell, was an English novelist, biographer, and short story writer. Her novels offer detailed studies of Victorian society, including the lives of the very poor. Her first novel, Mary Barton, was published in 1848. Her only biography The Life of Charlotte Brontë, published in 1857, was controversial and significant in establishing the Brontë family's lasting fame. Among Gaskell's best known novels are Cranford (1851–1853), North and South (1854–1855), and Wives and Daughters (1864–1866), all of which have been adapted for television by the BBC.
