North and South (September 22, 2007)

Set in Victorian England, North and South is the story of Margaret Hale, a young person whose life is flipped around when her family moves to northern England. As a pariah from the horticultural south, Margaret is at first stunned by the forceful northerners of the grimy, smoky mechanical town of Milton. Anyhow as she adjusts to her new home, she challenges social traditions with her prepared sensitivity and safeguard of the working poor. Her enthusiastic support heads her to more than once conflict with charming factory holder John Thornton over his treatment of his laborers. While Margaret denies her developing fascination in him, Thornton struggles over his absurd energy for her, disregarding their warmed contradictions. As pressures mount between them, a savage unionization strike blasts in Milton, leaving everybody to manage the outcome in the town and in their individual lives.

Elizabeth Gaskell serialized North and South between September 1854 and January 1855 in Charles Dickens' magazine Household Words. Upon its production, Gaskell established herself as an author fit for genuine talk on social obligation and promotion for change in disobedience of established power.
