Edition DescriptionRevised edition
SynopsisMary Barton, the daughter of disillusioned trade unionist, rejects her working-class lover Jem Wilson in the hope of marrying Henry Carson, the mill owner's son, and making a better life for herself and her father. But when Henry is shot down in the street and Jem becomes the main suspect, Mary finds herself painfully torn between the two men. Through Mary's dilemma, and the moving portrayal of her father, the embittered and courageous activist John Barton, Mary Barton (1848) powerfully dramatizes the class divides of the 'hungry forties' as personal tragedy. In its social and political setting, it looks towards Elizabeth Gaskell's great novels of the industrial revolution, in particular North and South ., 'O Jem, her father won't listen to me, and it's you must save Mary You're like a brother to her' Mary Barton, the daughter of disillusioned trade unionist, rejects her working-class lover Jem Wilson in the hope of marrying Henry Carson, the mill owner's son, and making a better life for herself and her father.

Great Gaskell work
Well written, as is to be expected of Elizabeth Gaskell. Great insight into the struggles of the factory workers of the 1840s and their relationships with the "masters", the owners of the mills. Gaskell's imagery is wonderful. She paints with words a vivid picture of the living conditions of the time.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
