About this book
In the grim industrial world of Manchester, the weaver's daughter Mary Barton is caught between two suitors as hunger, injustice, and simmering class rage drive the city's mill workers toward violence and a murder that touches her own heart. Gaskell's powerful first novel gave middle-class readers an unflinching view of working-class suffering and the human cost of the Industrial Revolution. Compassionate and courageous, Mary Barton blends romance and social protest with deep sympathy for the poor. A landmark of the industrial 'condition of England' novel, it remains a moving and important portrait of poverty, love, and the widening gulf between masters and men in Victorian England.
