Mary Barton (Penguin Classics) by Elizabeth Gaskell (1997-04-01)

Mary Barton was published in 1848 and was the first novel by Elizabeth Gaskell. The original title is "John Burton", a book with many elements - a more traditional love story, initially focusing on the lives of poor people in the British Manchester, and finally focusing on economic justice.

Mary is a young tailor, John's daughter who flirts with the son of the factory owner. She marries him and hopes herself and her father get out of poverty. Jim is the factory manager, my son, one of my father's best friends, I fell in love with Mary. As the economic situation of Manchester got worse, Mary 's father became radical and attracted to Charterism (not currently well - known as the labor movement of the working class).

When all these factors are settled, Gaskell blends romance, murder trials, strikes, and painful explanations about poverty and death. Although some characters are economically wealthy and not cruel, it is clear that Gaskell's mind is related to the role of the novel's working class. Their dialects are presented with extreme caution (shiny in the text, provided by her husband), and her desire is clearly understood by the reader. Martha's aunt, Esther became a prostitute, and she has even the opportunity to explain her behavior and why she chose her.

I really like this book, but the second half really makes me feel depressed. Gaskell has not yet mastered the technique of author injection, and it is a little anxious to start breaking. There are also some high Victoria (I kind of sort of "crazy" I never did before, sick people for weeks, etc). At the end of her career, my wife and daughter are more powerful novels. However, there are still plenty of places for evaluation here. And I am looking forward to reading more novels through this unfair unknown novelist.
