Immerse yourself in 19th-century England with 'North and South,' a novel by Elizabeth Gaskell that portrays the inequalities and conflicts of the Industrial Revolution. Through the story of Margaret Hale, a young woman forced to move from the rural south to an industrial city in the north, Gaskell explores the social and economic differences of the time. Margaret must overcome her prejudices as she learns about the difficulties of the working class and confronts her mixed feelings towards John Thornton. This edition of Illustrated Classics, published by Editorial Alma, offers a fresh and moving look at an essential classic of English literature.
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.
