In the industrial town of Milton, Margaret is horrified by the dirty air, the shocking poverty, and the pervasive mistreatment of the working class. John Thornton, a student of Margaret's father and the self-made owner of a local textile mill, finds Margaret haughty and naive, but is drawn to her beauty nevertheless. As tensions between workers and masters mount, a strike appears inevitable. Margaret's sympathies lie with the downtrodden laborers of Milton, but her heart increasingly yearns for Thornton, whose strength and depth of character will be revealed in a time of profound crisis. Both a timeless romance and a richly detailed social novel, North and South is a masterpiece of Victorian literature. 650 0 $a Women $z England, Northern $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Mills and mill-work $z England $x Fiction. $y 19th century $x Fiction. 650 0 $a England $x Fiction. $y 19th century $x Fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417014614.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F9BB4726E32311E8A41CCE2097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
