"North and South" is Elizabeth Gaskell's 1854 novel that contrasts the different ways of life in the two respective regions of England. In the North the emerging industrialized society is sharply contrasted with the aging gentry of the agrarian based South. The plot of "North and South" centers around the main character Margaret Hale, the daughter of a non-conformist minister who moves his family to an industrial town in the North after a split from the Church of England. With important underlying social themes, North and South stands out as one of the greatest novels in the history of English literature.

Review Summary: Great Novel (Poor Edition)
Review: I love this novel, it's a wonderfully written and complex story, I just wish I had not bought this particular edition because there are a lot of obvious typos that distracted me from the story. Just a helpful note. :)

Review Summary: LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!
Review: I just love this book. I came across Elizabeth Gaskell after finishing up my Jane Austen re-read marathon. They are both during the same period & the writing is absolutely beautiful. This book is beautiful. The movie is superb but no adaptation ever is better than the original written words. I read the book two times over & I still pick it up in between my current reading to put a smile on my face. Gaskell's short stories are beautiful to read as well. Highly recommended for Victorian Literature lovers!!!
