Elizabeth Gaskell's compassionate, richly dramatic novel features one of the most original and fully-rounded female characters in Victorian fiction, Margaret Hale. It shows how, forced to move from the country to an industrial northern town, she develops a passionate sense of social justice, and a turbulent relationship with mill-owner John Thornton. North and South depicts a young woman discovering herself, in a nuanced portrayal of what divides people, and what brings them together. The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Elizabeth+Gaskell\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eElizabeth Gaskell\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Elizabeth Gaskell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47378042945699,"sku":"9780141198927","price":250.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9780141198927_85643822-fe17-49e5-832c-16534ba45cfd.jpg?v=1776453780","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9780141198927","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
