In 1857 she wrote John Halifax, Gentleman, which is considered to be her best work. John Halifax, Gentleman is the classic story of a poor boy who through hard work and the highest of morals makes good. It was one of the first novels to have a tradesman as hero. The mood in Britain at this time echoed the Great Exhibition's empathizes on industry and technology. The opening words of John which were "Sir I want work" began a tale that reflected the values of the Protestant ethic. |
