This Norton Critical Edition of Gaskell s first novel is based on
the 1854 Fifth Edition, the last edition corrected by the author.
Contexts includes letters related to Mary Barton s publication
as well as Gaskell s reaction to her harshest critics. Ten
contemporary reviews reflect the dual nature of the novel s
critical reception: one group valuing its eye-opening moral energy
and concern for the suffering of the working classes and the other
group taking Gaskell to task for the deceptive implications of her
perceived flawed reasoning. A section featuring fifteen
illustrations from the novel offers readers the opportunity to
explore narrative emphases.
Criticism collects seventeen major interpretations of the novel
s central themes. Contributors include Kathleen Tillotson, Richard
D. Altick, John Lucas, Catherine Gallagher, Hilary Schor, Deborah
Epstein, Susan Zlotnick, Jonathan H. Grossman, and Liam Corley,
among others.
A Chronology of Gaskell s life and work and a Selected
Bibliography are also included."
