| Publisher Description: This, Elizabeth Gaskell's third novel, was her most ambitious work. Like Mary Barton, the setting is Manchester, now fictionalized as "Milton," and many of its cast of characters are connected with the cotton industry. As a minister's wife, Gaskell met individuals in all social strata and she saw the humanity in both the rich and poor. This experience enabled her to write novels that did not reduce either class to shallow sterotypes. Poverty does not make her characters noble, nor does wealth make them evil. Rather, they are fleshed out as individuals, and this is made clear in the novel's surprising denouement. |
