概要

 North and South is a captivating social novel that explores the stark contrasts of the industrial North and its societal conflicts in mid-19th century England, all through the eyes of a sensitive outsider from the South. The story follows Margaret Hale, the daughter of a Nonconformist minister, who relocates to the fictional industrial town of Milton after leaving the Church of England. Inspired by Manchester, where author Elizabeth Gaskell lived as the wife of a Unitarian minister, the narrative reveals Margarets profound shock at her new surroundings. As she empathizes with the struggles of the local workers, she finds herself at odds with John Thornton, the ambitious owner of a nearby mill and a friend of her fathers. Their relationship becomes strained after a violent encounter with striking workers, leading Thornton to propose to Margaret, who initially rejects him out of a sense of obligation. Misunderstandings and conflicts arise, particularly when Thornton mistakenly perceives her fugitive brother as a rival suitor. As Margaret grapples with the loss of Thorntons affection, her perspective shifts, ultimately leading to a poignant reunion.Copyright Nature and Animals 社会科学 科学
