Nicole from Bookish Stuff wrote a very interesting post about why “North and South” still matters today – I recommend to check it out if you want to find out more about the themes of the story. Looking for North and South summary and analysis Look no further This book will guide you through every scene, character, and quote to prepare you for. By the end of the story you will be fond of Margaret for sure! Further reading North and South e-text contains the full text of North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell. To conclude, I recommend reading “North and South” if you’re into classics and/or if you want to read a beautiful story that highlights the impact of the Industrial Revolution. Interestingly, Gaskell wanted to call the novel “Margaret Hale” (and I totally understand why), but Charles Dickens advised her that a better and more illustrative name is “North and South”. Courageous and sensible, Margaret is faced with delicate situations that quicken her coming of age. The main character of the story is young Margaret (∽20 years old), and the whole story is presented through her eyes.
With Wives and Daughters (1865) and Cranford (1853), it is one.
The contrast between North and South is even more evident as a family from the rural South is abruptly “transported” to the industrial North and faces first-hand what industrialization means and how it affects local people and environment – people get sick and die, strikes and violences are happening. North and South is a social novel published in 185455 by English writer Elizabeth Gaskell.
