Mary Barton es una novela de Elizabeth Gaskell, publicada en 1848. La historia se desarrolla en Manchester y describe las dificultades de la clase trabajadora en la Inglaterra victoriana. Mary Barton, hija de un activista sindical desilusionado, rechaza a su amante de clase trabajadora, Jem Wilson, con la esperanza de casarse con Henry Carson, el hijo del dueño de la fábrica, y así mejorar su vida y la de su padre. Sin embargo, cuando Henry es asesinado y Jem se convierte en el principal sospechoso, Mary se encuentra dividida entre ambos hombres. A través del dilema de Mary y el retrato conmovedor de su padre, la novela dramatiza las divisiones de clase y las tragedias personales de la época.
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.
