Description
North and South is a novel about rebellion, exploring fundamental questions about social authority and obedience. The story follows Margaret Hale, a middle-class southerner who moves to the northern industrial town of Milton, where she navigates issues of class and gender in conflict with the workers and her growing attraction to the charismatic mill owner, John Thornton. This new revised and expanded edition sets the novel in the context of Victorian social and medical debate.
