Amazon.com description: Product Description: O Jem, her father wonât listen to me, and itâs you must save Mary! Youâre like a brother to herâ Mary Barton, the daughter of disillusioned trade unionist, rejects her working-class lover Jem Wilson in the hope of marrying Henry Carson, the mill ownerâs son, and making a better life for herself and her father. But when Henry is shot down in the street and Jem becomes the main suspect, Mary finds herself painfully torn between the two men. Through Maryâs dilemma, and the moving portrayal of her father, the embittered and courageous activist John Barton, Mary Barton (1848) powerfully dramatizes the class divides of the âhungry fortiesâ as personal tragedy. In its social and political setting, it looks towards Elizabeth Gaskellâs great novels of the industrial revolution, in particular North and South. In his introduction Maconald Daly discusses Elizabeth Gaskellâs first novel as a pioneering book that made public the great division between rich and poor â a theme that inspired much of her finest work.
