"North and South is the story of Margaret Hale, the daughter of a local priest in Hampshire, whose father decides to leave his country church after a serious crisis of faith. All the events that follow happen in the fictional industrial English town named Milton to which the Hale family has moved. Thus, part of the narrative focuses on the juxtaposition between industrial areas and the countryside. Margaret is very critical of the massive industrialization swallowing English rural landscapes and the whole family is disgusted with the dirt and pollution caused by the mushrooming mills and factories. However, Margaret soon starts to like her stay in Milton, especially after making friends among the mill workers and owners of the town."@en

"An unforgettable story of love and strife set during the industrial revolution After a decade spent living with her aunt in London, nineteen-year-old Margaret Hale returns home to her beloved village of Helstone only to discover that her pastor father has had a crisis of faith and is moving the family to the North of England. In the industrial town of Milton, Margaret is horrified by the dirty air, the shocking poverty, and the pervasive mistreatment of the working class. John Thornton, a student of Margaret’s father and the self-made owner of a local textile mill, finds Margaret haughty and naive, but is drawn to her beauty nevertheless.

Margaret’s sympathies lie with the downtrodden laborers of Milton, but her heart increasingly yearns for Thornton, whose strength and depth of character will be revealed in a time of profound crisis.

"North and South tells the story of Margaret Hale, a southerner newly settled in the northern industrial town of Milton, whose ready sympathy with the discontented millworkers sits uneasily with her growing attraction to the charismatic mill owner, John Thornton.

"A trav©♭s de la historia de Margaret Hale, una joven del sur de Inglaterra que por circunstancias familiares se ve obligada a trasladarse al Norte, a la ciudad industrial de Milton ⁰́₃un trasunto apenas disfrazado de Manchester-, Elizabeth Gaskell plasma de forma magistral los conflictos sociales y pol©Ưticos derivados de la Revoluci©đn Industrial en la Inglaterra de mediados del siglo XIX. Para la hero©Ưna, el Sur donde ha nacido simboliza el idilio rural, el triunfo de la armon©Ưa social y el decoro; frente a ©♭l, el Norte es sucio, rudo y violento. Sin embargo, a medida que va penetrando en ese nuevo mundo y sus distintos estratos ⁰́₃desde Bessy, la joven obrera enferma y su padre, l©Ưder sindical, hasta John Thornton, due©ło de una f©Łbrica textil, por quien siente una creciente atracci©đn-, tendr©Ł que ir corrigiendo sus prejuicios; y del mismo modo, su condici©đn de mujer subordinada evolucionar©Ł hacia una madura aceptaci©đn de s©Ư misma y de sus sentimientos. Norte y Sur (1855) es ante todo una novela de personajes que crecen, act©ðan, piensan y sienten. Las contradicciones de la Inglaterra industrial se entrelazan con una historia de amor apasionada y curiosamente moderna, entre dos seres capaces de tratarse como iguales a pesar de todas las diferencias que los separan."

"'How am I to dress up in my finery, and go off and away to smart parties, after the sorrow I have seen today?' Margaret Hale is wrenched from her beloved rural idyll of Helstone and moved with her family to the industrial northern town of Milton, with its grime and all the ugliness of urban life."@en
"Margaret Hale's life changes dramatically when her father quits his living as a parson in the idyllic New Forest in the South of England and moves the family to the northern industrial town of Milton, intending to become a private tutor. There, she is appalled at the poverty surrounding her and at first finds the local mill workers too rough, but soon she can't help sympathizing with their plight. John Thornton is a magistrate and owner of a prosperous cotton mill. Forced to become the head of the household at a young age and driven to keep his family from becoming impoverished again, he's had no time for love. He certainly has no time for a lady who looks down on both him and the industry in which he earns his livelihood. Their beliefs lead them to inevitably clash, but their arguments over his treatment of his workers mask a deep attraction neither wants, and eventually, one that neither can deny."@en
"When her father leaves the Church, Margaret Hale is uprooted from her comfortable home in Hampshire to move with her family to the North of England. Initially repulsed by the ugliness of her new surroundings in the industrial town of Milton, Margaret becomes aware of the poverty and suffering of local mill workers and develops a passionate sense of social justice.

The stark differences are explored through Margaret's abrupt change in circumstance, and her sympathetic reaction to the plight of the northerners.

"De dochter van een priester uit het zuiden van Groot-Brittannië wordt in de 19e eeuw gedwongen te verhuizen naar een noordelijke industriestad, waar ze na verschillende tegenslagen haar sociale vooroordelen overwint."
"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."
"In the shock of Margaret Hale's move from a country vicarage to the grim northern industrial town of Milton, she misjudges John Thornton, whose strength of purpose and passion are a match for her own pride and willfulness. When the workers of Milton call a strike, Margaret takes their side, and the two are brought into deeper conflict."
"HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'But the cloud never comes in that quarter of the horizon from which we watch for it.' When Margaret Hale is uprooted from Hampshire and moves to the industrial town of Milton in the North of England, her whole world changes. As her sympathy for the town's mill workers grows, her sense of social injustice piques and she passionately fights their corner. However, just as she disputes the mill owner, John Thornton's treatment of his workers, she cannot deny her growing attraction to him. Highlighting the changing landscape of nineteenth-century Britain and championing the role of women in Victorian society, Gaskell brilliantly captures the lives of ordinary people through one of her strongest female characters in literature."
"Elizabeth Gaskell's nineteenth-century novel about class, labor, and religious conflicts in northern England, and the southern woman who moves there, falls in love with the local mill's owner, and has sympathy for the plight of his workers."

"Follows the story of the heroine's movement from the tranquil but moribund ways of southern England to the north. This book uses a love story to show how personal and public lives were woven together in a industrial society. It traces the origins of problems and possibilities which are still challenging a hundred and fifty years later."@en
