Synopsis "Penguin English Library North and South (The Penguin English Library) "

The Penguin English Library edition of North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell 'How am I to dress up in my finery, and go off and away to smart parties, after the sorrow I have seen today?' Elizabeth Gaskell's compassionate, richly dramatic novel features one of the most original and fully-rounded female characters in Victorian fiction, Margaret Hale. It shows how, forced to move from the country to an industrial northern town, she develops a passionate sense of social justice, and a turbulent relationship with mill-owner John Thornton. North and South depicts a young woman discovering herself, in a nuanced portrayal of what divides people, and what brings them together. The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell, née Stevenson (September 29, 1810 - November 12, 1865), often known simply as Mrs. Gaskell, was a Victorian era English novelist and short story writer. Her novels provide a detailed portrait of the lives of many social strata, including the very poor, and as such are of interest to social historians, as well as to literature lovers.
