Krátky popis
North and South is a novel by Elizabeth Gaskell, first published in
book form in 1855 originally appeared as a twenty-two-part weekly
serial from September 1854 through January 1855 in the magazine
Household Words, edited by Charles Dickens. The title indicates a
major theme of the book: the contrast between the way of life in
the industrial north of England and the wealthier south, although
it was only under pressure from her publishers that Gaskell changed
the title from its original, Margaret Hale.The book is a social
novel that tries to show the industrial North and its conflicts in
the mid-19th century as seen by an outsider, a socially sensitive
lady from the South. The heroine of the story, Margaret Hale, is
the daughter of a Nonconformist minister who moves to the fictional
industrial town of Milton after leaving the Church of England. The
town is modeled after Manchester, where Gaskell lived as the wife
of a Unitarian minister. Gaskell herself worked among the poor and
knew at first hand the misery of the industrial areas.The change of
lifestyle shocks Margaret, who sympathizes deeply with the poverty
of the workers and comes into conflict with John Thornton, the
owner of a local mill, also a friend of her father. After an
encounter with a group of strikers, in which Margaret attempts to
protect Thornton from the violence, he proposes to her, telling her
that he is in love with her; she rejects his proposal of marriage,
mainly because she sees it as if it were out of obligation for what
she had done. Later, he sees her with her fugitive brother, whom he
mistakes for another suitor, and this creates further unresolved
conflict. Margaret, once she believes she has lost his affection,
begins to see him in another light, and eventually they are
reunited.
