North and South

Elizabeth Gaskell

A novel bringing personal relationships into contact with work, industrial conflict and different accounts of independence. Chapter XIV gives Margaret a speech about resistance to unjust power; chapter XL describes Thornton’s conflicted feelings through the narrator. Read speaker and scene together. Two selected contributor entries match these chapter passages under case, punctuation and spacing comparison; that limited check neither authenticates the entire supplied collection nor makes fictional speech Gaskell’s personal testimony.

Who it suits

Readers interested in disagreement, responsibility and the difficulty of understanding another person.

Reading experience

Moderate to demanding; industrial conflict, illness and period social conventions. This is an Edsverb editorial guide, not a measured reading score.
