`she tried to settle that most difficult problem for women, how
much was to be utterly merged in obedience to authority, and how
much might be set apart for freedom in working.' North and South is
a novel about rebellion. Moving from the industrial riots of
discontented millworkers through to the unsought passions of a
middle-class woman, and from religious crises of conscience to the
ethics of naval mutiny, it poses fundamental questions about the
nature of social authority and obedience. Through the story of
Margaret Hale, the middle-class southerner who moves to the
northern industrial town of Milton, Gaskell skilfully explores
issues of class and gender in the conflict between Margaret's ready
sympathy with the workers and her growing attraction to the
charismatic mill ownder, John Thornton. This new revised and
expanded edition sets the novel in the context of Victorian social
and medical debate. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford
World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature
from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's
commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a
wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions
by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text,
